This is the Iraq one, right? The excerpt in the Times when it came out was pretty amazing.

Isn't it the Sci-Fi book by Joe Haldeman?

It's a good book. Not great, but there's no a lot of time-dilatation stories out there. The way you see Earth grow through the protagonist is weird, and you become as detached as he is by it. The Vietnam allegory is the source of the book, and plays well in this case, as it's still pertinent today.

It's interesting from a certain angle, though I don't quite like his take on homosexuality.

I think Forever Peace is a better book, however it's not as well thought out as this one.
