520    Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988) is generally considered the
       greatest American SF writer of the 20th century. A famous 
       and bestselling author in later life, he started as a navy
       man and graduate of Annapolis who was forced to retire 
       because of tuberculosis.  A socialist politician in the 
       1930s, he became one of the sources of Libertarian 
       politics in the USA in his later years. His most famous 
       works include the Future History series (stories and 
       novels collected in The Past Through Tomorrow and 
       continued in later novels), Starship Troopers, Stranger in
       a Strange Land, and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Given 
       his desire for privacy in the later decades of his life, 
       he was both stranger and more interesting than one could 
       ever have known. This is the first of two volumes of a 
       major American biography. This volume is about Robert A. 
       Heinlein's life up to the end of the 1940s and the mid-
       life crisis that changed him forever.
