What's inside?
Battlefield analysis
Campaigns, operations and missions from Ancient Rome to the Second World War are fully explored in every issue of History of War. Our regular Great Battles feature brings you a thrilling blow-by-blow account of a different battlefield each month, including detailed map illustrations to follow along the turning points and critical moments of the clash. Our team puts you in the general's chair, so you can witness how battles unfolded, the tactics used by each side, and the reasons for victory or defeat.
Veteran interviews
The History of War team is dedicated to connecting you with our precious past, through the memories of those who witnessed and served during the most important conflicts in recent history. In our interviews each issue, war veterans provide their own unique insight into their experiences in combat and the realities of warfare, while other non-combatants reveal what life was like behind the lines and on the homefront.
Iconic military vehicles
From the high-speed jet fighters of the Korean War, to the early tanks of the First World War and beyond, our Operator's Handbook takes you inside the wonderful, intricate and sometimes bizarre engineering of iconic military vehicles. Each issue you can take a tour around and into the driving seat of these war machines, learning what they were like to operate, and how they shaped up in combat.
