Hartmann Books was founded by Angelika & Markus Hartmann with Nadine Engler to show and publish works that are convincing and relevant to the topics of our time. The project is based on the belief that the book is still a relevant medium of human culture.

The book, 'War of Whispers' by John WILLHEIM is about what was later called 'the CIA's secret war' conflict in Laos in the 1960s/1970s. The photographer's sympathies were with the Hmong who fought this proxy war. The book design is by Sybren (SYB) KUIPER.
