Reviews


Harvard professor John Stauffer, a bestselling author and one of America’s leading authorities on the Anti-Slavery Movement, on Marching Toward Madness:

“Allen Paul is a powerful, nimble, eloquent writer.  Begin reading something from him, whether an article or book, and you have to force yourself to stop. He's the journalistic equivalent of Elmore Leonard, brilliant at building momentum and suspense regardless of topic, from college athletes to the horrors of Stalin's massacre of Poland's officer corps in World War II.  He seems always to provide just the right context for the stories he tells, and the research and interviews on which his writing depends resemble those of major scholars:  broad, deep, relentless.”

Wanda Urbanska, author/co-author of nine books, host-producer of the PBS television series, "Simple Living with Wanda Urbanska"

“Allen's writing skills are based on a lifetime of accomplishment in the craft. I know from personal experience that he could not be more collaborative. We've worked together on many projects, including a high-impact exhibit on Polish history that made its debut at the United Nations.”

New York Times on Allen Paul’s book Katyn: Stalin’s Massacre and the Triumph of Truth

“A moving reconstruction of the human side of these events. Especially valuable in its tracing of individuals and families through the barbarous darkness of the 1940s.”

Norm Gomlak, Deputy Metro Editor, The Baltimore Banner, on From Honey With Love:

“An uplifting book for anyone who loves dogs and people. What a wonderful book! I enjoyed every page because of Honey’s charming dialect. This sure to become a classic —and soon!”

Andy Kavchak, Author of a Bibliography of Books in English on the Katyn Forest Massacre:

For those who can read only one book on the subject, Kavchak recommends Allen Paul's.
