Edizione: first of the edition. stephen crane’s classic story of the embattled life of an inexperienced soldier is the finest novel to come from the american civil war and ranks with novels like sebastopol and for whom the bell tolls as the greatest novels of war yet penned. the vivid depiction leaves a taste of war in the reader’s mouth and the simple humanity of the characters reminds us all to sadly of the true cost of such conflicts. certainly a book no american should go without reading.
