In Robert A. Heinlein's controversial Hugo Award-winning bestseller, a recruit of the future goes through the toughest boot camp in the Universe--and into battle against mankind's most alarming enemy...

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up--and definitely not the infantry. But now that he's in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids.

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn't kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job...

"A classic...If you want a great military adventure, this one is for you."--All SciFi

Its hard to read starship troopers without thinking that its written by a modern day author despite being almost half a century old. Robert Heinlen seems an oracle as what was sci-fi back in the late 50s seems too close for comfort amongst todays modern warfare. Required reading in the US military, the story documents Juans (Johnny) experience training and living as a soldier. It is both insightful and relatable in it's narrative of the human experience.
