Includes Civil War Map and Illustrations Pack - 224 battle plans, campaign maps and detailed analyses of actions spanning the entire period of hostilities. Few novels written of the Civil War stand in such high regard as the Red Badge of Courage, the visceral, realistic and gripping story of Henry, a new recruit in the Union Army. Henry's first taste of battle is brutal and horrifying as he fails at the first hurdle and baulks at the severity of combat and runs. After the realization of what he had done, he is driven to atone for his failure by facing his fears of the battle-line once again, hoping to receive a "Red Badge of Courage" as a mark of conquering his fears. A Classic, with many additional illustrations. Author - Crane, Stephen, 1871-1900. Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published inNew York, D. Appleton and company, 1927. Original Page Count - xli and 266 pages. In a perfect world, young Henry Fleming would have been content to remain on the family farm. But the Civil War shattered that dream, tearing families apart, pitting brothers against brothers, and Henry knows he must enlist to fight in a cause he feels is just. When faced with the brutal truths of war, Henry discovers that a soldier's proud uniform is poor protection against the bite of a bullet or a thrust of a bayonet. Suddenly, he'd give anything to return home. The Red Badge of Courage is an 1895 war novel by American author Stephen Crane. It is considered one of the most influential works in American literature. The novel, a depiction on the cruelty of the American Civil War, features a young recruit who overcomes initial fears to become a hero on the battlefield. The book made Crane an international success. Although he was born after the war and had not at the time experienced battle firsthand, the novel is considered an example of Realism. The finest novel of the Civil War, and one of the greatest battle stories ever toldThe question of courage enters Henry Fleming's mind the moment he dons the blue uniform of the Union Army. But his first firefight reveals the emptiness of words such as bravery and fear. Pinned in by his comrades, he can only fire his rifle like a cog in a machine. There is no chance to run. Then comes the true test. Waking from a nap, Henry sees the enemy advancing once again. Gripped by an unshakable terror, he flees, from his regiment, from duty, from everything he wanted to believe about himself. A corpse bears witness to his shame. The nightmare has come true. Henry Fleming is a coward. Only one thing can save him now: a visible wound, the red badge of courage. With his regiment's colors in hand, Henry looks the enemy in the eye, and charges. Stephen Crane was born six years after Lee's surrender at Appomattox and had yet to see a battlefield when he wrote The Red Badge of Courage. Nevertheless, the novel is widely regarded as one of the most realistic depictions of war ever published, and a masterpiece of American literature.
