Industry Reviews "As to 'masterpiece,' there is no doubt that 'The Red Badge of Courage' is that, if only because of the marvellous accord of the vivid, impressionistic description of action on that woodland battlefield and the imagined style of the analysis of...the inward moral struggle going on in the breast of one individual--the young soldier." Joseph Conrad
