The Red Badge of Courage
Stephen Crane
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This is a short novel published in 1895 and based vaguely on the battle of Chancellorsville of the American Civil War. Unlike other works on the subject, Crane's novel does not concentrate on the big picture or the glory of war but on the psychology of one of its soldiers. (4 hr 55 min)

Reviews
interesting
A freshman in high school
I had to do a report on this book, and the multiple readers made it hard to follow. better than actually reading it though
The Red Badge of Courage

A little hard to follow with so many readers. Sue Anderson would have made a great narrator for this story
Surprise surprise

I liked the guy that read the first chaoter a lot. But then suddenly a wild strict nanny appeared.... what?
Like It!

I like the dynamics. Read well.
Poignant story!

I had no idea how much I would enjoy this book. Crane’s insights on war and courage are just as fresh today as over 100 years ago when he penned the tale. It is a short book you will be tempted to listen to again and again and absorb something more. The volunteers were wonderful. Each gave a little bit of themselves in their reading. I recommend it highly.
Very good and interesting

It was a good description of the civil war, and had good character development. Steven Crane has a very good choice of words and is good at grabbing your attention. That being said, some of the readers were a little monotone and hard to follow.
Love it!

I’ve always loved tales of war…especially of the Civil War! The half star taken off is because I’m not fond of various readers!
why

i wonder why you kept switching the readers it's just confusing and disturbing .. i liked the first reader .
