Regnery Publishing, located in since 1993 . PUBLICATIONS Books published by Regnery include:
Regnery is a sister company of the conservative newspaper '' Human Events ''. HISTORY It was founded in 1947 by Henry Regnery , and was originally located in Chicago, Illinois . It originally had a close affiliation with the University Of Chicago , and published books for the Great Books series at the University, which were primarily classics. The first book published by Henry Regnery Company was the ''The German Opposition To Hitler'' by Hans Rothfels . One of the first well-known books it published (in 1951 ) was '' God And Man At Yale '' by William F. Buckley, Jr. . In the 1970s Henry's son, Henry F. Regnery , worked at the company; he was killed in a commercial airliner crash. In the 1980s, Alfred S. Regnery , the other son of Henry (Henry F. Regnery's brother), took control of the company. In the 1990s, the Regnery family sold the publishing company to Phillips Publishing , which put the book publishing company into its Eagle Publishing subsidiary. Eagle Publishing also publishes the weekly, Human Events . Alfred Regnery has subsequently left his post as President of Regnery Publishing to become the publisher of the conservative American Spectator magazine. He still holds a seat on the Board of Directors. Pat Sajak is also a member of the board. Alex Novak, son of political columnist Robert Novak , is director of marketing. CRITICISMS Leftwing critics contend that Regnery provides an outlet for extremist, right-wing, anti-science screeds and fictional biographies designed to denegrate mainstream political personalities, since Regnery has published books by authors such as Newt Gingrich , former Republican Party Chairman Haley Barbour , Barbara Olson , and Ann Coulter . Regnery has published books about AIDS by Peter Duesberg (who claimed AIDS was not caused by HIV) and Michael Fumento (who claimed that AIDS was more likely to be contracted by homosexuals than heterosexuals). Leftists widely consider Regnery to be an essential part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy designed to turn the United States Of America into a Fascist Christian Theocracy . ETHICAL LAPSES In 2006, Regnery editor Ben Domenech was discovered to be a serial plagiarist. EXTERNAL LINKS
