The original history magazine, History Today has been published monthly in London since 1951. Our founder was the enigmatic Brendan Bracken, Minister of Information during the Second World War, publisher of the Financial Times and faithful right-hand man of Winston Churchill.

History Today created the concept of popular history, mixing styles, genres and periods to achieve a fusion of intellectual excitement and readability. Read thought-provoking and lavishly-illustrated articles by the world's leading scholars and historians, on all periods, regions and themes of history.

A sample of some of our recent articles:
• The Lure of the Orient - There's nothing new about globalisation. As with so much else, the Romans pioneered it, forging trading links with peoples as far away as south Asia, says Raoul McLaughlin.
• Rome 1960: Making Sporting History - When the Eternal City hosted the Olympics, the organisers had to confront Rome's Classical, Renaissance and Fascist pasts, as Richard Bosworth explains.
• Ship of State - Patrick Little explores the entangled and stormy fortunes of Oliver Cromwell, Charles II and Britain?s navy.

Each month, the magazine also features a quiz, a prize crossword, cartoons, news and at least eight pages of book, event and film reviews. In addition, our massive online archive includes every article published by both magazines since 1980. Print subscribers receive big discounts on online access.

Magazine Group Review of History Today magazine

History Today magazine brings the past to life with illustrated features about times past that have kept readers enthralled since the first issue in 1951.

A History Today magazine subscription now offers a monthly update on the past - and if that sounds like a contradiction in terms, this publication proves it is not.

Subscribe to History Today and you can expect a pioneering fusion of different periods brought together to highlight a running theme or issue.

The eras covered lead right up to present day - so, for example, the topic of globalisation might be addressed in terms of the old trade routes to the East.

What this makes for is a magazine that is both true to its subject matter - the past - while remaining relevant to the present day.

More up-to-date content is offered in the form of reviews of historical books and films, as well as entertainment features.

These include a monthly quiz, cartoons and a prize crossword, while subscribers to the print magazine can also gain discounts on the History Today online archive.
