It's edited by Joe Haldeman, and as far as I can remember there's two
more
in the series;
"spacefighters" and "supertanks" (also edited by Haldeman)

Just when I think I've got something to add, John and Donogh beat me to
it.
I've got Supertanks, but never have seen Spacefighters. I'll have to
keep
an eye out for it.
FYI, it's either in the forward to BA2K or Dealing in Futures, which I
think has no PA, Haldeman admits Forever War is actually a subconscious
reposte to Starship Troopers. Mark, as you are a big fan of Heinlein,
consider this a bit of forewarning.

Well, the juveniles and the his very last works, at least. Honestly, I
still hold there IS no difference 'twixt SF and Sci-FI, and feel Acky
has
had his quote taken way out of context, but that's WAY OT skiffy-talk,
and
hereby apologize.
