    It is hard to see why _Starship Troopers_ would be Heinlein's most
"contraversial", especially when comparted to _Stranger in a Strange
Land_.
As far as political goes, well at one place in ST he suggests that the
only people who have been in the miltary can vote.  Of course this is
based on my reading the book over 20 years ago.
