About the book

Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage follows Henry Fleming, a young Union soldier during the American Civil War who enters battle with romantic ideas about courage and heroism. When fear causes him to flee from combat, Henry becomes consumed by shame and desperately seeks a chance to prove himself. Crane focuses less on military history than on the psychology of fear, courage and self-deception, creating one of the most influential war novels in American literature.
