RED BADGE OF COURAGE

Complete and unabridged Wordsworth American classic of one of the greatest war novels of all time. The book reports on the American Civil War through the eyes of Henry Fleming, an ordinary farm boy turned soldier. It evokes the chaos and the dull clatter of war, the acrid smoke, the incessant rumours of coming battles, the filth and cold, numbing monotony and the unworldly wail of the dying. Crane also captures some strange beauty: brilliant red flags against a blue sky, steel bayonets flashing in the morning sun... 192pp in paperback.
