Independent military-history publishing

Books that preserve the voice and legacy of the Army NCO.

The NCO Historical Society is a boutique imprint publishing selected works on enlisted leadership, Army history, military transition, and the experiences of those who served.

Our purpose

A small imprint with a specific point of view.

We publish selected books that document enlisted leadership, military service, Army institutional history, veteran experience, and the professional heritage of the noncommissioned officer.

Preserve

Capture first-person experience, institutional memory, and overlooked parts of the enlisted story before they disappear.

Publish

Develop focused military-history and leadership books with direct editorial involvement and a deliberately small catalog.

Connect

Link finished books with the broader research ecosystem at NCOHistory.com and Military Research Group.

Current catalog

Five books. One focused imprint.

Our current list spans NCO education, senior enlisted leadership, veteran transition, and mental health in post-military life.

Publishing philosophy: We are selective by design. The Society is not a volume publisher. We consider work that has a clear connection to the enlisted military experience, Army leadership, military history, or veteran life and that benefits from a boutique editorial relationship.
For authors

Have a manuscript that belongs here?

We accept initial publishing inquiries from authors whose work fits the Society's focused catalog. Start with a synopsis and project overview. Please do not send a full manuscript until requested.

Looking for NCO source material?

The publishing imprint is distinct from the digital archive. Historical documents, articles, bibliographies, photographs, and hard-to-find NCO material remain available through NCOHistory.com.
