The Simchony Collection was established to commemorate Major General Asaf Simhony (1922–1956), who was a commander in the Suez War and died on the night the war ended in a plane crash on the way to Haifa.
The books in English and in Hebrew have been published from the late 19th century up to the current era. Many titles were published by the "Maarachot" Publishing House and by the publishing house of the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
