Welcome to Leaping Horseman Books
     

Leaping Horseman Books is a small publishing house that specialises in books about the Eastern Front, and Stalingrad in particular. Our aim is to publish books and other material that is of interest to many people but that is not being produced by larger publishers. Stalingrad is a very popular subject - and there are indeed dozens of books written about it - but there is a surprising lack of new information. It is the lofty goal of Leaping Horseman Books to try to rectify this shortcoming.
Australian customers: please note that 10% GST will be charged on top of all prices listed on this site.

Ever thought of seeing the historical military sites in the Crimea? Sevastopol, Kerch, the Perekop isthmus... these are just a few of the locations being visited on an upcoming trip (21-31 August 2009). There are still a few spots available, so if you're interested, contact us and we'll send further information.

UPDATE 17 March 2009
     

Apologies for the delay in updating the website. It has been very busy here since the release of "Angriff" in November last year. In addition to packing, we've been working on some new titles. More about that later. To those of you who have ordered "Angriff," thank you. And we hope you've enjoyed the book. If you haven't yet ordered, you can find more information about the book here.

Several new books are in the works. First up will be a translation of a German memoir. We don't want to give away too much at the moment but this officer won the Knight's Cross and German Cross in Gold at Stalingrad, and was also captured there. Another book slated for publication this year is a detailed history of a particular pioneer battalion, from its formation until its demise in Stalingrad. A vast amount of rare material (photos, diaries, letters, etc.) has been gathered for this book which allows an insight into the thoughts and actions of one battalion.

You may have noticed the message at the top of the page. In 2007, Jason Mark and a small group toured Volgograd. The trip was a big success. We gained access to several sites that have not been visited by westerners before (most notable was the Grain Elevator). Well, another trip is on the cards, this time to the Crimea. The region is packed with historical sites, so Michael Hawash - a good friend - has organised an extremely interesting itinerary. There are still a few spots for this tour, so if you've ever thought about going to the Crimea, why not do it with a group of fellow enthusiasts? But be quick because those few spots will go fast. A detailed itinerary is available on request. Send us an email or contact Michael Hawash directly (his email address is mhawash(at)burfordmaney(dot)com ).

"Turning Point" is still available. Very few books portray the Russian point-of-view. This book was written by Russian veterans for Russian readers. If you want to see the war through the eyes of Red Army officers and soldiers, this book is for you. Retail price is AUD $50.00. For more information about, please click here. "Death of the Leaping Horseman" has now sold out for the third time: a reprint is not currently being planned. However, if there's enough demand for it, a reprint will be considered, so register your interest by clicking here. The hardcover edition of "Island of Fire" is now also sold out... all imperfect copies of both the hardcover and paperback have also been sold; however, the paperback edition is still readily available.

Finally, we would like to thank all of our customers for your support throughout 2008 and for the many encouraging words about our titles.
