‘He felt that in this crisis his laws of life were
useless. Whatever he had learned of himself was here of no avail. He was an
unknown quantity.’
Following one soldier’s journey from naive recruit to
hardened survivor, The Red Badge of Courage is a vivid and powerfully
psychological take on the American Civil War. Fighting for the Union army,
Henry Fleming is thrown into a bloody war where the harsh realities and horrors
of battle quickly become evident. Fearful, occasionally vain, but always
viewing the war with honest eyes, Henry eventually comes to thrive as a soldier
in combat, and it is with a a new conscience and outlook that he matures into manhood.
