review: Editorial Reviews Review The Red Badge of Courage has long been considered the first great ?modern? novel of war by an American (Alfred Kazin) From the Back Cover In 1895 Stephen Crane achieved early fame with his powerful, enigmatic portrayal of a raw recruit's experience of war, The Red Badge of Courage.
