Regnery Publishing in Washington, D.C., is a publisher which specializes in conservative books characterized on their website as "contrary to those of 'mainstream' publishers in New York." Since 1993, Regnery Publishing has been a division of Eagle Publishing, which also owns the weekly magazine Human Events. Regnery is currently led by President Marjory Ross, who had previously served as Vice President under President Al Regnery, son of the company's founder, until 1997.
Regnery has published books by authors such as former Republican Party Chairman Haley Barbour, Ann Coulter, former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, columnist Michelle Malkin, commentator Robert Spencer, pundit David Horowitz, and Barbara Olson.
Regnery Publishing is the second publishing company founded by Henry Regnery. The first Henry Regnery Company was founded in Chicago in 1947 and sold in 1977. Henry Regnery then founded Regnery Publishing Inc. as a separate company.
After helping to found Human Events as a weekly newsletter, Henry Regnery began publishing monthly pamphlets and books. A German-American, Regnery had studied in Germany for two years and, while not sympathetic to Nazism,[citation needed] was always very sympathetic to Germans. Some of the first pamphlets he published, including a reprint of a speech by University of Chicago President Robert M. Hutchins, criticized the harsh treatment of Germans and Japanese both in popular attitudes and in postwar administration of the former Axis countries.
