BBC History Magazine has been the UK's best-selling history magazine ever since its launch more than 20 years ago. Each issue offers expert takes on a huge breadth of British and global history, from ancient civilisations and the medieval and Tudor periods to the Victorian era, the two world wars and beyond.
Drawing on the latest research, we provide fresh, fact-checked perspectives on history's best-known stories and shine a light on some of the more obscure corners of our past. Our contributors include many of Britain's leading historians, such as Dan Jones, Michael Wood, Suzannah Lipscomb, Tom Holland and Tracy Borman.
You'll also find an extensive book review section, as well as monthly coverage of history-related news, TV, film, and events and exhibitions to keep you up to date.
A subscription also makes a great gift idea for anyone interested in Britain's rich history. Click Give a Gift to find out more.
