The Red Badge of Courage
reviewed on + 3563 more book reviews


This is a great Gift book with internet connections. The author Stephen Crane lived to be only 29 years old until 1900, but he wrote this bestselling book about real boys in the Civil War. It was first published in 1895. The boys schemed to get into the Army and they had assumed that war was fun until they got out into the battles and ugly reality of war.

This book is a great learning tool.
