Casemate, founded in 2001, is a major specialist publisher and book distributor in the North American market.

Casemate has become the leading publisher in the fields of military history, defense studies, and military science in the United States. Casemate's burgeoning publishing list covers subjects as diverse as Roman history, World War II, and current conflicts.

Meanwhile, many publishers from the United States, the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and beyond have come to trust Casemate as a valued distribution partner in reaching and maximizing sales from the vibrant US market. Building on the success of its US operation, Casemate launched in the United Kingdom in 2007, and now provides distribution services worldwide. Many of our distribution client publishers have chosen to use both our UK and US distribution operations.

In addition to our subject specialty of military history, Casemate's distribution operation now offers books in several other disciplines and subject areas, ranging from history to genealogy, fine art to travel. Distribution client books that are not history-related are showcased on our

website.

In late 2011, Casemate acquired Oxbow Books, the prestigious British archaeology publisher and distributor, together with Oxbow's US business, the David Brown Book Company. With this acquisition, we now offer worldwide distribution services to the academic publishing community.
