Military history at your fingertips ... a unique and expanding series of expert reference works. The Naval and Military Press is a unique venture in British publishing. For nearly 20 years it has been bringing the most authoritative, unusual and specialised books on conflict and warfare on land, sea and in the air direct to the door of its growing army of customers. N&MP, founded and run by Chris Buckland from a base in rural East Sussex, operates in partnership with the country's major military libraries, archives and institutions including the Imperial War Museum; the Royal Armouries, Leeds; the library of the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst; and the Royal Artillery Institution. Chris, in co-operation with the librarians of these archives, scours the shelves in search of interesting and out-of-print volumes: memoirs; military manuals; accounts of campaigns both obscure and familiar - and reproduces them in attractive, manageable and affordable new editions, putting unusual, unfamiliar and long sought for texts within the grasp, and the budget, of students of conflict around the world, both amateur and professional. The range and number of titles is simply enormous. With approaching 2,000 works now in print, N&MP publishes titles on the two world wars; the Napoleonic Wars; the English Civil War; medieval warfare; and the 19th century's 'small wars'. There are specialised areas including official, regimental and divisional histories; naval and aeronautical books; medals and awards; uniforms; and weapons both edged and ballistic. N&MP's latest publishing partnership is with the Royal Geographic Society with whom it has launched a new imprint, Rediscovery Books. Rediscovery is a new departure from purely military matters, focusing on the fantastic world of historic travel and exploration. It now has some 50 titles in print, including epic journeys and expeditions form the golden age of exploration in the Victorian era. Chris believes that his readers' tastes and interests are as eclectic and wide-ranging as his own. If there is an emphasis in his choice of titles, it is perhaps in seeking to reproduce the authentic experience and voice of the common soldier. 'In my view there is no substitute for reading first-hand accounts of war by those who took part at the sharp end, ' he says.
