Throughout its existence, the Military Publishing House faced the hard times which have marked the history of postwar Romania, trying to cope with the hardship of a highly authoritarian system.
The collections published by the Military Publishing House, as well as the stand-alone works, have embraced various thematic areas, from strategy, operational art and tactics, to history, war memories, military technology or medical work specific to the armed confrontations, international humanitarian law, fiction – historical novel, adventure novel, poetry, etc.
After the revolution of December 1989, the Military Publishing House aligned its efforts of modernization and reform to those of the whole Romanian Army, necessary for the country’s goal of becoming a member of the North-Atlantic Treaty Organization and of the European Union.
As a result, the Military Publishing House adapted its programs and projects to the formative and informative requirements of this period of great change.
The translations published by the Military Publishing House enriched the Romanian culture – both military and general – with works by worldwide recognized authors, such as Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, B. H. Liddell Hart, Gaston Bouthoul [fr], André Fontaine, Jean-Pierre Cathala, Michel Droit, Julian Amery, and Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim.
