History
Previously, National Vanguard was a tabloid newspaper first published in 1969. The name "National Vanguard" was started in October 1970, when William Pierce split from Matt Koehl. They had been running a publishing firm together called Midgard Books. Pierce renamed his new firm as National Vanguard Books, Inc. and Koehl renamed his NS Books. So, National Vanguard became the name for Pierce's book publishing and resale business in 1970. In 1978, the name of the newspaper "Attack!" was changed to "National Vanguard". In 1982 this newspaper went to a magazine format. In 2002, the magazine went to an all-color format.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
