Reviews are mixed, so proceed with caution.

I agree with @Manabi. Forever Peace is good but it is not related to The Forever War which the title tends to suggest.

Perhaps as Joe Haldeman wrote:

Caveat lector: This book is not a continuation of my 1975 novel The Forever War. From the author's point of view it is a kind of sequel, though, examining some of that novel's problems from an angle that didn't exist twenty years ago
