Welcome to History Today

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 History Today and History Review magazines since 1980.
