Paladin Press was a book publishing firm founded in 1970 by Peder Lund and Robert K. Brown.[1] The company published non-fiction books and videos covering a wide range of specialty topics,[2] including personal and financial freedom, survivalism and preparedness, firearms and shooting, various martial arts and self-defense, military and police tactics, investigation techniques, spying, lockpicking, sabotage, revenge, knives and knife fighting, explosives, and other "action topics"[3] (though the availability of books on topics like improvised explosives has been severely curtailed in recent years).[4] Sometimes described as the "most dangerous publisher in the world",[5] it was sued over several murders connected to one of its books, and ceased operations in January 2018.[6][7]
