Unfit for Command, published by Regnery Publishing.

Regnery Publishing, located in Washington, D.C., is a publisher that specializes in conservative books that they characterize on their website as “contrary to those of 'mainstream' publishers in New York.” The company has been a division of Eagle Publishing since 1993.

History

It was founded in 1947 as Henry Regnery Company by Henry Regnery, and was originally located in Chicago, Illinois. It originally had a close affiliation with the University of Chicago, and published books for the Great Books series at the University, which were primarily classics. The first book published by Henry Regnery Company was the The German Opposition To Hitler by Hans Rothfels, who was a close friend of Henry Regnery. One of the first well-known books it published (in 1951) was God and Man at Yale by William F. Buckley, Jr..

In the 1970s Henry's son, Henry F. Regnery, worked at the company; he was killed in a commercial airliner crash. In the 1980s, Alfred S. Regnery, the other son of Henry (Henry F. Regnery's brother), took control of the company. In the 1990s, the Regnery family sold the publishing company to Phillips Publishing, which put the book publishing company into its Eagle Publishing subsidiary. Eagle Publishing also publishes the weekly, Human Events. Alfred Regnery has subsequently left his post as President of Regnery Publishing to become the publisher of the conservative American Spectator magazine. He still holds a seat on the Board of Directors. Pat Sajak is also a member of the board. Alex Novak, son of political columnist Robert Novak, is director of marketing.
