The Red Badge of Courage : A Groundbreaking War Novel Exploring the Psychology of Battle

🎖️ What is courage—and what does it cost?

In The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane presents a gripping psychological portrait of a young soldier, Henry Fleming, as he navigates the chaos, fear, and moral conflict of the American Civil War. Torn between glory and survival, Henry's journey is one of self-doubt, growth, and reckoning ⚔️🇺🇸.

Hailed as one of the first realistic war novels in American literature, Crane's masterpiece strips away romanticized notions of combat and reveals the raw truth of human emotion under fire. Its poetic prose and emotional depth continue to resonate with readers more than a century later.

This fully annotated edition includes historical context, footnotes, and illustrations—ideal for students, educators, veterans, and lovers of classic American fiction 📚.
