This is the 1958 first Turkish edition of The Red Badge of Courage (Cesaret Madalyası) by Stephen Crane, published by Işık Kitapları. Originally published in 1895, the novel is considered one of the important American works of war literature.

The story follows Henry Fleming, a young soldier who joins the American Civil War filled with romantic ideas about courage and heroism. When he experiences the reality of battle, he struggles with fear, self-doubt, and the instinct to survive. His experiences force him to question what true courage actually means.
