Stephen Crane's Battles: Nine Decisive Battles Recounted by the Author of The Red Badge of Courage Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, written in 1895, propelled him to international fame and placed him justifiably in the pantheon of American Literature. His vivid portrayal of war caused him to be offered journalistic assignments in Cuba and in the Greek-Turkish war of 1897. Although Crane wrote broadly as a novelist, poet and journalist, it is, perhaps, not surprising that he was drawn to and commissioned to write on the subject of warfare. This book finds Crane applying his familiar style to nine accounts of conflict in which he considers not only the events, but the motives and emotions of the principal characters. The battles are drawn from the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and include the wars of Gustavus Adolphus, the wars of the Napoleonic age and those that reshaped Europe. This is a little known book, by a great writer on his principle theme. It is an invaluable resource for both military historians and those who study American literature.
