There is a general introduction and a prefatory essay to each section. ***If such proof were needed, the volume establishes the fact that the author of 'The Red Badge of Courage' was no "one book man". 'The Red Badge of Courage', undoubtedly one of the great war books of all time, is included with a critical text with the published and manuscript texts adequately noted.'
