Welcome to the Military History Bookstore

The Purpose

I discovered that through reading military history books, I was able to take my place beside the great strategists of the world. I was able to see what they did and why, to see their masterstrokes, their mistakes or how luck played a hand in the events of war. These books became my best friends and fulfilled my never-ending curiosity about the events of the world.

What I Offer

You can find military history books that span from the Peloponnesian War to the Gulf War. Of course, there are books that cover WW1, WW2, Vietnam, British history, American history, and many other historical events and wars. My books cover a wide range of topics including military architecture, uniforms, equipment, vehicles, ships, tanks, aircraft, battles, wars, strategy, and tactics. A good number of the books are unique, and most are out of print. There are some books that are over 100 years old.

Testimonials

I have always been impressed with Keith's knowledge of history. He can recite details about obscure battles, equipment, military campaigns, and historical events of present and bygone eras. He is the one to go to when seeking information and a greater understanding of military history. Military History Bookstore is a one of a kind book collection.

“I have known Keith Sales for many years. During that time, we have had numerous discussions about military history. These conversations have at times been very lively and animated. I have always been impressed with his vast knowledge, including detailed facts about both of the World Wars, famous and little-known battles, and military equipment of the past and present. His book collection is vast and superb. I know of no one outside of the library at West Point who has amassed a collection of so many topics related to the military.”

— Claudius Colombo (PHD in History)

“I have been in the book business for more than 15 years. Throughout that time Keith Sales became one of my best customers and a friend. Now that I am retired from the business, it is a joy to see that Keith has entered it. We spent countless hours discussing books from his collection. His knowledge of history, especially military history will be an immense benefit to anyone looking to purchase from his bookstore. I can heartily recommend purchasing from him, if you are looking for quality books.”

“Keith and I met a long time ago, while playing football. When we met, I discovered that we shared an interest in military history. I was amazed at the extent of his library. It seemed to cover so many aspects of all things military. I was also struck by his extensive knowledge of the subject matter. I think that anyone can find something of interest in his collection.”
