Book club--The Forever War

I choose The Forever War by Dexter Filkins for our book club. At the first glance of the three names in the list, my eyes were attracted to the title of this book, which reminds me the book, Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortonsen. The later  is  about the terrorism in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which is closely related with the terrorism in Iraq.That might be the first reason for the closeness I've built up with the book.
Considering I was working with students believing Muslim last year, I'm naturally allergic to any words explicitly or implicitly reflecting conflicts of religion. One of the most important aspects of the war between America and Iraq terrorism is concerning religion misunderstanding and misleading. I'm curious about whether the author includes this point in the book and how the author interprets it. 
Furthermore, according to my researching on this book, the reviews from medias and public are generally very positive. With the evidence of high reputation, I decide to follow my heart to read this book and be prepared to fall in love with it.
