The Red Badge of Courage
Content advisory. This book reflects the language and terms of the era in which it was written, which some listeners may find offensive.
Henry Fleming, a young farm boy, enlists in the Union Army dreaming of glory. When his first battle comes, fear overtakes him and he flees, and he must wander the edges of the fighting wrestling with shame before he returns to face the guns again. Stephen Crane's 1895 novel of the American Civil War is a landmark of American literature and one of the great psychological portraits of courage.
