Books like The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
The novel explores a soldier's experience as he is caught up in the brutal machinery of a war against an unknown and unknowable alien foe that reaches across the stars. Featuring a new introduction by John Scalzi, this Hugo and Nebula award-winning SF classic takes place in an uncaring universe, where the Earth's leaders have drawn a line in the interstellar sand. A reluctant conscript drafted into an elite Military unit, Private William Mandella has been propelled through space and time to fight in the distant thousand-year conflict, performing his duties and doing whatever it takes to survive the ordeal and return home. But 'home' may be even more terrifying than battle, thanks to the time dilation caused by space travel, where Mandella is aging months while the Earth he left behind is aging centuries.
