Bringing serious history to a wide audience since 1951. Published monthly, the magazine asks the world’s leading scholars to write informatively and engagingly on all periods, regions, and themes of history.
This is the February 2026 issue of the magazine launched by Winston Churchill in 1951 and initially criticised for its silver-spoon nature, now independently run and praised for its accessibility to in-depth global history.
Inside: The Thirty Years War, remembered as a tremendous European tragedy; Luther’s Reformation and its lingering presence in the German discourse; the controversy of ‘poetic’ coffee in the early modern Islamic world; the origins of cancer experimentation; and University College of London’s founding—‘a hotbed of radicalism’.
