His novel The Red Badge of Courage brought him widespread acclaim for its vivid depiction of war s psychological impact. Crane also worked as a war correspondent, covering conflicts such as the Greco-Turkish War and the Spanish-American War, experiences that influenced his later writings. His short stories, including The Open Boat, and poetry, such as War Is Kind, showcased his talent for exploring human struggle and existential uncertainty. Despite his literary achievements, he faced financial difficulties and suffered from declining health. He died of tuberculosis on June 5, 1900, in Badenweiler, Germany, at the age of 28.
