We are Fussy about our Book Packaging. Check our Feedback! THE MOST FAMOUS AMERICAN CIVIL WAR NOVEL EVER WRITTEN THIS IS THE MOST FAMOUS NOVEL ever written about the American Civil War , the story of a young private in the Northern Army who flees in terror from his first battle - but then, ashamed, he returns to face the Southern enemy and wins a "red badge of courage" , a war wound. It was published in 1895 after first appearing in a shortened serial form and it immediately established author Stephen Crane as a celebrity. He was just 24 and had had no experience of warfare. It is believed that Crane based his novel on the Battle of Chancellorsville and that he spoke to aged veterans to achieve the realism he was able to capture. The work is considered an American classic often prescribed in high schools and it has never been out of print. Two film adaptions have appeared, including a 1951 version directed by John Huston that has also achieved classic status.
