Battle Born Books

Battle Born Books is a loose confederation of several people with a long interest in WW2 military history. Two of them--Mike Olive and Bob Edwards--were recently business partners with John Fedorowicz in JJ Fedorowicz Publishing. The third leg of the triangle is a legend in the field of specialty publishing concerning both aviation and armor topics related to WW2--Uwe Feist.

In case you are wondering, the title comes Bob Edwards' company, Battle Born Consulting, which, in turn came about because of three factors:

• Bob originally hails from Nevada, the Battle Born state.
• He now makes his home in the wilds of south-central Missouri, scene of much unpleasantness during the War Between the States
• The subject matter of his business has to do with all things military.

What You Can Expect

Battle Born Books will offer the finest in military history publishing, offering new titles that will represent a collaboration among all three of the above, as well as titles from Ryton Books and a select offering of titles from other publishers we feel need wider representation.

If you wish to order Ryton books, please contact Stackpole Publishing directly, as they are the exclusive distributor for the titles and it proves more efficient for them to ship to interested parties.

We are now offering the two latest titles from the great Leaping Horseman line of books: Angriff, The German Attack on Stalingrad in Photos and Turning Point, Recollections of Russian Participants and Witnesses of the Stalingrad Battle.

These titles are in stock and available for shipping. Click on the book cover to be directed to the info page and ordering buttons.
