Military Book Publishers
Whether you’re looking for good military books to read or thinking of publishing your own strategy and tactics manual, military book publishers can be found all over the world and the Internet. One such publisher is Osprey Publishing. Their extensive collection not only of military literature but also related multimedia games and manuals include anything from books on Ancient and Eastern warfare, Medieval period wars, World War 1 & 2, modern conflicts and more. Not only do they provide hardbound copies but also e-books to give history and warfare buffs everything that they could ever need to read. Aspiring authors and illustrators are also given ample exposure and leverage through author features and live events held throughout the year. One such event is the Historicon 2011 which is obviously for military history experts.
Of course, one cannot mention the phrase military book publishers without mentioning Jane’s Information Group. Better known simply as Jane’s, they’re famous all over the world for publishing countless guides about various military hardware. Started in 1898 by Fred Jane, these guides are very well regarded because of their accuracy and visual portrayal of all sorts of military equipment particularly naval ships, aircraft and mobile armored weaponry.
If your focus is on more practical knowledge such as hand to hand combat, then one of the military book publishers which cater specifically to these is Paladin Press. They offer numerous guides on basic to advanced fighting and survival techniques including: Ragnar’s Urban Survival, The Fighting Forms of Kuntao-Silat, The Mook-Jong Slam Set and even a Guide on Edible Plants and Flowers. If you’re an aspiring author with specialist knowledge on any of these, you may be able to have your book published with them.
Military book publishers are as diverse as the world of military and warfare information itself. The realms that they traverse not only include military hardware, history and encyclopedic knowledge but also of the social, political and practical uses that such information could provide. The listing of actual publishers number in the hundreds because military science and developments are constantly evolving avenues of knowledge that is very much relevant in today’s security minded society. With terrorist and security threats still looming in the horizon wherever you are, the demand for such knowledge will continue to subsist throughout the world. If you have specialist knowledge in the realm of military information, then try your hand in contacting any of these superb military literature publishers.

Just checked the back of our son’s RTC pics to see if there was any other info. Everything was RTC NEX. No help.
Have you tried posting something on Military.com? Or asking there? Someone there might have an idea.
Have you tried doing a Yahoo or Google search on your Division number?
Sorry.
We also have freedom of the press. If this publisher wants to stop publication and act in such a craven manner, then let them. In this world of commerce it leaves me the option of never buying another book or publication from them of any sort.
if you believe in your idea then keep querying agents- chicken soup for the soul got rejected 140 times before someone took a chance on it.
if on the other hand you think that there may be some merit to what your agent is saying, then change the book, make it more suited to its closest genre.
Interesting post. Trying to figure out what makes this guy tick can get downright creepy. Kinda like profiling the uni-bomber or a mass murderer. All I know is by that time the damage will be done. I prefer the clarity of someone like Patton. He’d have favored crippling Iran a year ago. It can be made complicated if you try hard enough but truth is fairly simple..every day of delay makes matters worse and the enemy stronger. And make no mistake, a Nuclear Iran is a disaster in the making. And all this talk of US depending on Israel to deal with Iran? WTF is that? Am I the only one who thinks that’s a chickenshyt approach for The United States of America?

if a fat girl falls in the woods and no one is around, do the trees laugh?
Well there are quite a few games that have deep storylines and huge character development or revelations in the story
– Final Fantasy 8 had a lot of character development, and so far is the only one that concentrated pretty hard on it. It is an RPG so im not sure if its to your liking.
– Silent Hill has great plots, wonderful game environments that raise ur hair on end with the game plots and twists being some of the best in the industry. (silent hill 2 is awesome)
– Fatal Frame is also great and is in the same genre as silent hill
those are some I think you might like, as for books, some of these might be of your taste:
— Meg by Steve Alten story about an a scientific discovery that involves the prehistoric shark, megalodon being discovered alive
— Firestarter by Stephen King, story about government experiments that changes people and gives a certain family some powers. Story centers around a pyrokinetic girl and her dad running away from them
The Keel: a NAVY Boot-camp souvenir book from G.L. Do you know of some good places to find used copies?
I have been looking for two years on Ebay without success for a specific copy. You see a few on them on there for sale every week, but they are either far too old or far too new. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I wanted to buy a specific issue from 1997, and the Great Lakes Navy website is of no help as they claim on the webpage not to have any back issues and the publisher does not have any as well. I do not know or recall anyone from the specific Grad Division(s) that graduated in April of 1997 to contact either.
Can anyone recommend any other ways I might find a copy?
A dealer in Military stuff that might have a pile of them lying about or?
Thanks for the help.
What are some videogames and/or books with a very strong storyline and plot?
I’m looking for videogames and books with a strong storyline and plot. I don’t care about graphics, gameplay, system the game is on, financial success, overall rating, the author, the publisher, etc… I’m concerned about the storyline, plot advancement, character development, in-depth detail, uniquely designed technology of any sort, etc… only. I’d prefer results geared toward Sci-fi and/or military themes, but everything is welcome.
To give an idea of what I’m searching for, Orson Card’s Ender, Shadow, and Empire Series, Star Wars universe, Halo series, Breakdown, Advent Rising, Metal Gear Solid, Psychonauts, Mass Effect, Starcraft, Harry Potter, all of Michael Crichton’s novels, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, etc…
We are having a super turn out for The 4th. of July can we start more poetry for military and ask book?
publishers to help us get it in print?
Americans die to protect the Freedom of Speech, should Random House cancel a book about Muhammad?
Today the Associated Press details that a publisher has decided not to publish a book because of the intolerance of a small group of radical terrorists. How can we maintain a free open society if American publishers wimp out because of threats by some unseen and undefined group? Without any real danger should they censor a author’s literary work? Shouldn’t they give our protective services and military the chance to protect us and our liberty?
NEW YORK — Salman Rushdie strongly criticized his publisher for canceling another writer’s historical novel about the prophet Muhammad and his child bride over concerns about angering Muslims.
Random House, have canceled another author’s novel, apparently because of their concerns about possible Islamic reprisals,” Rushdie said Thursday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “This is censorship by fear, and it sets a very bad precedent indeed.”
Random House has acknowledged pulling Sherry Jones’ debut novel, “The Jewel of Medina,” about Muhammad and his child bride, Aisha.
The publisher, which had planned to release the book this month, said in a recent statement that “credible and unrelated sources” had warned that the book “could incite acts of violence by a small, radical segment.”

Recovering from a book failure?
I spent about a year of my life on a book that I worked pretty hard to make – the writing is pretty good, especially considering I’m 17 years old – I was told by agents that I have the talent, but my book’s genre just isn’t able to be classified, and too many publishers would reject it outright because of this. Of the 40 agents I queried, none could help me because of my book’s genre and content. I want to be a writer for a living, or at least while in the military and afterwards, and I generally think I take rejection alright, especially from agents. The catch is – how do I know if I have the skill, the idea or the chance to even get anywhere? As conceded as it sounds, I feel like I’m wasting a gift, and it bothers me.
Well there are definitely adult themes – no sex, but there is some realistic, graphic portrayals of shootings (not Hollywood stuff), stabbings, etc., as well as a very disturbing overarching tone.
Also, if anyone knows some agents who may like survival / psychological fiction, can you let me know? Thank you.
How Does Obama Conceive of Good and Evil in Foreign Policy and Military Use of Force?
Is Chester Bowles the Main Foreign Policy Influence on Obama?
When Obama’s mother was attending the University of Hawai’i Chester Bowles was a major voice on the “liberal” approach to foreign and military policy. His worldview is fully presented in a dozen books published by all the best publishers of that time.
JFK fired Bowles from his position as Undersecretary of State because Bowles had spilled information in advance of the Bay of Pigs invasion.
This invasion was a catastrophe for the USA, and it may have been what got JFK killed by Lee Harvey Oswald (supported by Cuba).
The National Security Archive (Bay of Pigs — 40 years After) only discloses:
MAR 31,1961: Under Secretary of State Chester Bowles hands a memorandum to Secretary Rusk advising that a decision on the Cuba operation will be made at an April 4 meeting. Bowles considers the plan profoundly disturbing and a grave mistake. “[A]s the venture is now planned, the chances of success are not greater than one out of three. This makes it a highly risky operation. If it fails, Castro’s strength and prestige will be greatly enhanced. If you agree that this operation would be a mistake, I suggest that you personally and privately communicate your views to the President. It is my guess that your voice will be decisive.” Rusk files the memo away. (Schlesinger, A Thousand Days, p. 235; Wyden, pp.120?121)
Obama’s worldview is traceable in large part to his mother, his experiences as a child growing up and coming of age in Indonesia, and Reinhold Niebuhr.
His mother got a large part of her worldview from liberal writers of the day which included Chester Bowles.
From Bowles, we learn that the USA should be a great big pussycat in the world, just meowing for everybody to be good — goo goo good!
From Niebuhr we learn that there actually IS evil in the world, and it needs to be opposed.
Obama thinks the evil is us (USA). Like Bowles, he wants the other guys to get a fair chance. [Hundreds of our special warfare guys died on the beaches in Cuba, so the other side sure got a fair chance that time, and they won.]
That’s why Obama is so passive about Iran. It’s a manana issue for him. No need to act today. Maybe tomorrow something will happen that makes the path clear and easy for Obama.
What would JFK do about Iran?
Do we have a President who is channelling Chester Bowles?
Are we led by a Jellywaggle Blancmange?
