The Red Badge of Courage

An Episode of the American Civil War
Mar 11, 2010kwsmith rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
Through highly vivid and visual prose, this novel provides a first-person description of a cruel American Civil War battle. Much of the story describes how the difficult battle affects the mental state of a young recruit on the front lines. In particular, the young hero vacilates between wanting to fight and wanting to flee.
