CRANE, STEPHEN. The Red Badge Of Courage And Other Stories.
Popular Library, New York: 1965. s Softcover. Reading copy.
Here is a war story unlike any that has ever been written before. It does not give a splendid and glory-filled account of battle and victory. Instead, it tells of one soldier and one battle. It presents war as a test of personal courage - a terror to be understood and mastered.
