About us

Biteback is a major new political and current affairs publisher, publishing books under three distinct imprints.

>> DIALOGUE original, high quality contemporary history and current affairs titles with a strong international flavour
>> BITEBACK current affairs, political biography, history, business, humour and sport
>>  TOTAL POLITICS specialist political and reference titles and political sciences

“This is an exciting new venture. There is a huge gap in the current affairs publishing market which needs filling. At a time when interest in politics is growing, few publishers seem to be publishing political titles, even though sales of non-fiction books are holding up in the recession. No business can claim to be recession-proof, but interest in current affairs, economics, and political history is likely to increase in an economic downturn.”
