Reading For The Heck Of It rated it 7 years ago
Today's book is a classic that I have wanted to read for quite some time but never got around to...until now. Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage covers the American Civil War from the point of view of a Union soldier. It's the gritty portrayal of life at the front and just what it's like to la...

I remember reading this in high school. It's good, but I wouldn't say it's a "must read."

All I can remember now is it was about the Civil War and some deserter but it was really an antiwar novel. I always associated most antiwar novels from this era with hippies, or at least hippie-like teachers, which I associated with the antiwar movement. I didn't much like the 60s or the early 70s...
