Starship Troopers


One of Robert Heinlein’s finest books is Starship Troopers. It was published in 1959 and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1960. The book has attracted controversy and criticism for its social and political themes.

So not only is this book a very good read, it stimulates your mind by forcing you to think about various societal and political issues.

I enjoyed this book when I read it 40 years ago, and I think I may have actually enjoyed it even more the second time around. It makes one think even more deeply about the subjects he explores in this book after one has had a lifetime of experience to help improve one’s judgement.
