History
Savas Beatie was established in late 2003, launching on January 1, 2004, when New York attorney Russel H. "Cap" Beatie and Theodore P. "Ted" Savas agreed to form the company. Savas, a licensed California attorney and author/editor, had been consulting with and working for a number of publishing companies. He was the co-founder (with David Woodbury) of Savas Woodbury Publishers (1992). The pair met in November 1988 in San Diego at a West Coast Civil War conference, discovered their mutual interest, and returned to the Bay Area (Woodbury lived and worked in San Francisco, Savas in San Jose) to launch the printed quarterly journal Civil War Regiments: A Journal of the American Civil War. This undertaking formed the foundation for what would soon become Savas Woodbury Publishers, a book publishing company that specialized in American Civil War titles. When Woodbury left in 1995 to pursue other interests, the company changed its name to Savas Publishing Company. The genres of publishing expanded at this time to include other historical topics, including World War II, the Indian Wars, and more general historical interests such as the bestselling 1912 Facts About Titanic. Savas Publishing was sold to Combined Publishing / Perseus Books Group in 2000.
Savas Beatie has published books on various aspects of military, sports, and general history since 2004.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
