I find it interesting that upon entering the ISBN for this book, I see the cover art has been changed to an image from the movie. Yet the book I'm listing is the original story, not the travesty the movie was. What made the book so much better wasn't necessarily the power suits, though they were sorely missed in the movie. It was the details of the political environment that the Mobile Infantry was defending. Without the political commentary, the movie was just a shell of Heinlein's vision.
