Encyclopedia
Savas Beatie LLC, commonly referred to as simply Savas Beatie or Savas Beatie Publishing, is a California-based book publishing company established in 2004. The company has published more than one-hundred (100) military, general history (and more recently, sports history) titles. The company uses the tag line "Independent, scholarly, and a bit old fashioned." Savas Beatie titles are distributed into the general book trade by Philadelphia-based Casemate Publishing. Markets outside the general trade, including individual enthusiasts, national and state historic sites, and specialty sales, are managed inside the company.
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 Beatie has published books on various aspects of military, sports, and general history since 2004.
