Paladin Press is a book publishing firm founded in 1970 by Peder Lund and Robert K. Brown.〔()〕
The company publishes non-fiction books and videos covering a wide range of specialty topics,〔()〕 including (but not limited to) personal and financial freedom, survivalism and preparedness, firearms and shooting, various martial arts and self-defense, military and police tactics, investigation techniques, spying, lockpicking, sabotage, revenge, knives and knife fighting, explosives, and other "action topics"〔()〕 (though the availability of books on topics like improvised explosives has been severely curtailed in recent years).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paladin Press, Firearms, Self-Defense, Sniping, Survival, Books and DVDs )〕
==History==
Paladin's first book, ''150 Questions for a Guerrilla'', was by Gen. Alberto Bayo, a Communist veteran of the Spanish Civil War who became Fidel Castro’s mentor when Castro was training men in Mexico for his successful revolution in Cuba. The theories advocated in his book were state-of-the-art for the time. Paladin’s edition became required reading for serious students of guerrilla warfare and is still in print today. This early work set the tone for Paladin’s future: it would be first to print books about controversial or suppressed subjects, and it would also be criticized for publishing works that some people found objectionable.
From 1970 to 1974, Paladin developed its stock of titles primarily by reprinting government military manuals previously available to the public only through purchase of purloined copies. In 1974, Lund and Brown split over the direction the company should take. Lund wanted to expand Paladin’s coverage of topics, while Brown wanted to start a magazine. Lund bought out Brown, who founded ''Soldier of Fortune'' magazine (''SOF'') in 1975.
