Reviews

"Alan T. Nolan's The Iron Brigade is a classic of Civil War literature." Gary W. Gallagher "I am immensely impressed ... This particular Brigade needed a book of its own and now it has one which is definitely first-rate... A fine book..." Bruce Catton "One of the '100 best books ever written on the Civil War.'" Civil War Times Illustrated "Alan Nolan has written a first-rate account of one of the most famous fighting outfits of the Army of the Potomac, the Iron Brigade... Nolan's book is unit history writing at its best, and it adds much to our knowledge of the larger story of the war..." T. Harry Williams " ... Remains one of the best unit histories of the Union Army during the Civil War." Southern Historian "... The Iron Brigade is the title for anyone desiring complete information on this military unit ..." Spring Creek Packet, Chuck Hamsa
