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 March 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 Trials of Joan of Arc’, a re-examination of the two court hearings—separated by 25 years—that influenced contemporary perceptions of the patron saint of France; ‘Chivalry in Chains’, a look at the unexpectedly humanitarian treatment of prisoners during the Crimean War; and ‘Renaissance Rivalry’, an investigation of the infamous feud between English theologian Edward Lee and Dutch scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam.
