War History Journals
At War History Journals, we focus on publishing history books that entertain and teach about a time in history we should never forget. We believe history can be taught from a storyteller's perspective. Instead of rote memorization of endless facts, figures, names, and places, why not show what happened from those in the trenches, skies and on the seas.
