All About History
All About History is the UK's best independent history magazine helping to bring the past to life for its readers for over a decade. Written by history experts for enthusiasts from 16 to 60 (and more besides), All About History's mission is to make the past as digestible and entertaining as possible.
Whether you're interested in ancient Rome, Three Kingdoms China, the Tudors, the Aztecs, WWII or anything in between, All About History has something for you. And that's before we get to all of the fascinating stories that you didn't even know would capture your imagination. We offer the greatest variety of historical topics covering every era and all corners of the globe to offer the most interesting, inspiring and in-depth articles.
All About History is not just run by a team of history experts, but we also showcase some of the most informed and innovative writers from all corners of the history spectrum. From academics leading their field to popular historians who are making the past accessible to the masses, we offer up to date and incisive commentary. We reveal more about the history people think they know and introduce our audience to the history they don't.
Our readers come from a broad range of academic backgrounds, from those who only studied history in school to some who have pursued it past higher education. What they share is a deep-seated passion for the past and a love of our entertaining coverage. From students and teachers to arm-chair generals and weekend museum-goers, we open up history to everyone.
