Excerpt from The Work of Stephen Crane, Vol. 9: Wounds in the Rain, and Other Impressions of War
Perhaps it was because Stephen Crane had read so little, was so slightly acquainted with the masterpieces of fic tion, that he felt no responsibility to be accurate or pains taking in accounting for things and people. H e is rather the best of our writers in what is called description be cause he is the least describing. Cuba didn't tempt him to transfer tropical landscapes to paper, any more than New York State had tempted him to do his duty by the countryside.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of the author's firsthand accounts and observations as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War in Cuba. Unlike many war reporters of his time, who wrote about the conflict as valiant and glorious, the author presents a stark depiction of the brutality and fear that define battle. From the author's panic during his first engagement to the sight of a line of Cuban prisoners of war, this book does not romanticize the realities of combat. It does not take sides, but rather provides a glimpse into the grim humanity of both the Spanish and American soldiers. The author does not spare details of their injuries or the psychological tolls of war, and it is with his empathetic eye that the reader gains a profound comprehension of the human cost of war.
