enigma was founded in 1999 by a group of publishing professionals to fill a vacuum in quality book publishing:
to publish in the United States major titles in contemporary history;

enigma wants to provide access to those very important texts for the serious reader, the student and the scholar;
Some books are true classics of contemporary history in every sense of the word, time has not reduced any of their compelling importance and a new updated edition reinforces their message;
enigma's European presence makes it possible to translate very important titles that publishers have hitherto not translated into English.
