The story of the critical reception of Crane's great Civil War novel from its publication to the present, with particular attention to the effects of later wars on that reception.

History is replete with pronouncements on war. Some reflect on man’s warlike nature (“We are quick to flare up, we races of men on the earth”—Homer); others deal with the practical strategies of the combatants (“If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons”—Winston Churchill); and still others offer advice for avoiding conflict (“The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war”—Desiderius Erasmus). More than 2,700 quotations on war and conflict are presented in this reference work. The quotations are arranged by more than 100 broad categories, from action to winning. For each, the quotation is first given, followed by its author, the work in which it appeared (when appropriate), and the date. The book includes numerous cross-references, and keyword-in-context and author indexes are provided for further utility.

In 'The Red Badge of Courage & Other Tales from the Civil War' by Stephen Crane, readers are immersed in the rawness and intensity of the American Civil War through a collection of short stories. Crane's realistic and gritty depiction of war conveys the harsh realities faced by soldiers on the battlefield, showcasing the psychological effects of violence and fear. The author's use of vivid imagery and stream-of-consciousness narrative style adds depth to the characters and the overall atmosphere of the tales, making them both engaging and thought-provoking. Set within the literary context of American Realism, Crane's work explores themes of courage, masculinity, and the brutal nature of conflict. His stories provide a powerful insight into the human experience during a turbulent period in American history. Stephen Crane's firsthand experience as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War gave him a unique perspective on the horrors of battle, which he draws upon in this collection. His personal encounters with soldiers and their stories influenced the authentic portrayal of war in 'The Red Badge of Courage & Other Tales from the Civil War'. I highly recommend this book to readers who are interested in exploring the complexities of war and its impact on individuals, as well as those who appreciate realistic storytelling and historical fiction.
