Histria Academic publishes scholarly and research-based nonfiction in history, political science, and related fields — books grounded in primary sources and original research, written to reach both specialists and educated general readers.

Recent titles include 1453: Constantinople and the Immortal Rulers, a study of the fall of the Byzantine Empire; Catalysts for Catastrophe, which examines five small wars that redirected the course of modern history; Treason and Traitors in Texas, a historical study of Civil War-era divided loyalties in the South; and The Assault on Truth, an examination of the relationship between political power and public knowledge.

The list favors history that does not require specialist training to follow — serious scholarship that is also genuinely readable, for historians and for the kind of reader who wants more than a popular history provides. All Histria Academic titles are distributed through Simon & Schuster.
