Timeline

1943

Joe William Haldeman (born June 9, 1943) is an American science fiction author.

1960

Haldeman also wrote two of the earliest original novels based on the 1960s Star Trek television series universe, Planet of Judgment (August 1977) and World Without End (February 1979).

1965

He was immediately drafted into the United States Army.

Serving as a combat engineer in the Vietnam War, he was wounded in combat and received a Purple Heart.

He struggled to adjust to civilian life after returning home.

His wartime experience inspired his debut novel, War Year; his later novels such as The Hemingway Hoax and The Forever War, continued to explore the experience of soldiers in wartime and after returning home.

In a college creative writing class in 1967, Haldeman wrote the first two SF stories which he (later) sold.

1969

"Out of Phase" was published in the September 1969 Galaxy magazine, and "the other worked its way down to a penny-a-word market, Amazing Stories, and netted me all of $15 – but then years later it was adapted for The Twilight Zone, for fifty times as much. Not bad for a story banged out overnight to meet a class deadline."

Haldeman has written at least one produced Hollywood movie script.

1972

Haldeman's first book was a 122-page novel, War Year, published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in May 1972.

1974

He is best known for his novel The Forever War (1974), which was inspired by his experiences as a combat soldier in the Vietnam War.

His most famous novel is his second, The Forever War (St. Martin's Press, 1974), which was inspired by his Vietnam experiences and originated as his MFA thesis for the Iowa Writers' Workshop.

It won the year's "Best Novel" Hugo, Nebula and Locus Awards.

2016

In a 2016 interview, Haldeman said, "Jack of all trades, master of none I think. It's a way to go. Not all writers go that way, but many of them do. On a day-to-day basis I wake up in the morning and I can do anything I feel like doing. I don't say, uh oh, I've gotta get back to that damn novel again. I can always write a poem or something. ... "
