An interesting story that starts out gritty then turns philosophical. A human captain returns to the planet he fought years to protect, and discovers it devastated, despite winning the war. The humanoid aliens across the galaxy resent Earth's constant neutrality in their wars with hostile alien lifeforms. The captain shares their bitterness and can't wait to ship out to another war to escape the cowardice of his home planet.
Almost all the characters are good, the plotting is twisty enough, and the descriptions are nice.
As one ally says, "But humans are a different species, so it's not really cannibalism.
