"Nolan exhibits an impressive depth of knowledge of his subject; his work is marked by stylish writing with extensive discourse on political and social as well as military issues" Russell K. Brown, The Journal of America's Military Past
"This is one of the most valuable military histories in years. A must-read for students of military history." - Kirkus Reviews (Starred review) "One of the most stimulating and controversial books on military history in a long time. Challenging, well written, well-sourced ... there is a great deal of food for thought for military historians and professionals in this volume." New York Journal of Books "The Allure of Battle provides new and fresh insights into war studies and offers several new and fresh perspectives to look at military history...This is a very well-researched book. Nolan's credentials on the subject are unmatched. It will change the way you have looked at military history up until now. It is a must-read for both students and experts of military history." - The Washington Book Review "The Allure of Battle is written with impressive energy and verve." - Daily Beast "Nolan's meticulous contribution remains unmatched as it provides an in-depth survey picking up the right threads and nuances of history and relating it to contemporary events." - Academic Council on the United Nations System "[The Allure of Battle] never flags, and it is one of those books that is guaranteed to have a permanent impact on the way you think about history." - Neil Faulkner, Military History Matters"This is the single most insightful and comprehensive book on war that I have ever read. And I have read a few. It is simply spectacular. Trapped in my office weathering a week-long quarantine, Nolan's book was an absolute life-saver." - Keith Johnson, Foreign Policy
