This month’s Publisher Intelligence roundup brings together a strong group of recent military releases, with all of them appearing in 2026 and several arriving this month. The subjects range widely, but the common thread is seriousness: warfighting, military adaptation, command, combat experience, and the ideas, campaigns, and military problems that still deserve serious attention.
The selections move from the U.S. Army’s post-Vietnam reform and the Cold War defense of Europe, to the Marine Combined Action Platoons and the road to Hue, to small-unit combat in Afghanistan, to Alfred Thayer Mahan and maritime strategy, and then back to the Civil War with a closer look at the 20th Maine. Taken together, they offer readers a useful cross-section of new work in military history and military thought, with enough range to reward both focused specialists and curious general readers.
The full list below highlights which of these new releases look most worth your time and why.
