Commentary:
ah, another great classic. It's amazing the technology detailed is so far advanced ahead of its times (this novel was actually written in 1959), detailing powered armour exoskelton, the drop, tactical nukes. Man, it's a geek guy's fantasy comes true... ;p Besides the gadget, the commentary on politics and militarism is also fascinating. A must read.
