Stephen Crane, through his groundbreaking and impressionistic narrative, offers an unflinching portrayal of the psychological turmoil and raw fear experienced by soldiers. Despite never having witnessed battle, Crane's conversations with veterans allowed him to craft a story renowned for its realism and depth. This novel is celebrated for its critical and detached style, addressing the unsettling truths of war and the human condition.
