Publishing House of the Ministry of National Defense) was founded in 1947 and until 1952 its official title was Wydawnictwo Ministerstwa Obrony Narodowej „Prasa Wojskowa" (lit. Publishing House of the Ministry of National Defense "Military Press").[2][3] It released books related to military subjects, such as memoirs of veterans or monographs on battles or military units.
In 1976 the publishing house received the Commanders Cross of the Polonia Restituta.[4]
Around 1989–1990 it was restructured into the Bellona Publishing House.[5]
