Also from Wikipedia, we learn the following:
The America First movement, funded by William Regnery [the II's daddy], among others, took a pro-German view of the world during the 1930s, and fought to keep America neutral after Britain entered the war in 1939.In addition to The Swift Boat Book (can you tell I like that title better) Regnery Publishing also publishes books by Anne Coulter, Dennis Hastert, and G. Gordon Liddy. Boy, wouldn't *you* be proud to have your book cranked out by a publishing house founded by an infamous white supremacist? Apparently, other conservatives luminaries like Rush Limbaugh, Ollie North and Charlie Daniels have books in the works with Regnery Publishing.
Appears I was wrong[ish], though: the mainstream press is (sort of) reporting this. Newsweek's writer Andrew Murr, however, doesn't point out Regnery's connection to . . . The Swift Boat Book.
What *exactly* is the nature of that connection? It's hard to tell. The publisher's site isn't at all helpful. But a quick search establishes he's certainly an heir to the Regnery fortune and "a prime mover and shaker in white nationalism publishing." Regnery Publishing, no doubt, would prefer not to be lumped with that prestigious milieu these days.
Perhaps that explains the dearth of information about the company's history and its organizational structure on their site. Try finding the name of *anybody* associated with the company on their site. I could only find one, Marji Ross, Regnery's President and Publisher.
Now, that could just be poor information design. Or perhaps there's some history and a name or two Regnery doesn't want to display too prominently.
