Double Dagger Books have recently signed a slew of new authors for books in 2024 and 2025. Some are returning Double Dagger veterans, while others are trusting us with their debut books.
David Brown, own of the original members of the US Navy SEAL teams, has written a memoir entitled “And Goliath.” It’s a remarkable story, in pat because David became a SEAL despite being just 5′ 4″ – but in fact, his memoir is a meditation on the tools we learn to use to overcome obstacles, and how those tools can turn into obstacles themselves.
Andrew Goldsmith has signed for two books with us: the literary memoir “A Mediocre Infantryman’s Guide to Ranger School” and a companion book, an annotated (and irreverent) Ranger Handbook.
Steve MacBeth has signed for an irreverant oral history of Canada’s War in Afghanistan. Forget the Official History of the war (which you can’t buy anywhere anyway…), and instead read “No Names, No Packdrill.”
James Stejskal’s latest book in the Snake-Eater Chronicles is “The Ratcatcher of Berlin,” set in the early Cold War. Along with it, he is currently hard at work on a surprise non-fiction book, that we will announce later in the year.
Roger Litwiller, Canada’s most prominent Naval Historian, has signed for a new history of a very peculiar shipbuilding effort during World War II – so peculiar that the ships weren’t built on the water!
And finally, David Grebstad has produced a new work of non-fiction, “Citizen, Settler, Soldier, Scoundrel,” that looks at the indelible impact of the military on the development of Manitoba during the later 19th century, with far-reaching consequences that stretch to the present. This is one of the few books that shows how military and indigenous culture intertwined in the Canadian West.
We’re looking forward to bringing these books and many others to you in the coming year!
