If one wishes to get the "whole enchilada" look for the version that is "preferred" by Haldeman and has the sections he originally wanted included.
BTW, the Variety synopsis of the novel is WAAAAY to simplistic. It's a lot deeper and if Scott handles it right, should be an excellent flick.
A couple of other "early works" from Haldeman that are worth the read: "Mindbridge" and "All My Sins Remembered".

You know that meanwhile Haldeman has worked the forever war into a trilogy, the second part of which also won the Hugo, yes?
