Book review
Starship Troopers
Summary: Good book. Best part for me was philosophy about democracy. Stated that best was to have people who are not selfish. In this case it was people who had been in the military and had shown that they didn’t do it all just for themselves.

I didn’t agree with his views on education/punishment. That doesn’t work. It’s about constraining options, not about punishing a person.
An appended reference note says the novel was written in a few weeks after the US suspended nuclear tests, appeared first as the two-part serial Starship Soldier in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and was published as a book by G. P. Putnam’s Sons in December 1959.
