I simply enjoy how history puts much of current affairs in context. Although much of BBC History Magazine is UK-based, they do foray into other parts of the world -- a trend that seems to be on the rise and I hope it continues. This magazine is not the history you learn in school or university. The biggest plus about this magazine is that it brings history to life. Everything from wars to famines and medicine through the ages; customs, rituals and what have you spring to life. Bottom line: if my history teachers over the years and taught me using the writing style of the BBC history magazine, I would have majored in history at university instead of spending the rest of my life catching up.

5.0 out of 5 stars In many ways its a great taster for researching matters touched upon in the magazine

I look forward to this magazine each month on Kindle. Though I'm an avid reader of history in general, this magazine always seems to have more to offer than was previously unknown to me. In many ways its a great taster for researching matters touched upon in the magazine, in more depth later. I loved the medieval descriptions of an apothecary's response to sexual concerns. I also love the individual descriptions of what people went through in WW1. Its a fascinating publication and for the price I cant fault it.

I wait every month for my new Kindle edition of BBC history. I love it love it. Easy to read and navigate. So much information I can hardly remember at all! I have a history BA But I realize that I really don’t know much. This magazine makes me go and further investigate different subjects. I am going to order the Kindle version for my daughter.

Okay, I was a history major (English history), so I was predisposed to like this. One of the best things about it is that is reveals history in small, digestible doses--it is, after all, a magazine! Not just English history, but occasional articles about other places. Nice illustrations. Helpful book reviews.

The issue I purchased was the October issue with Anne Boleyn on the cover. I mainly wanted to read the article about her, and the overall issue itself was so interesting and informative--I really enjoyed it. There was even an article on ancient Rome that was a great read. I don't know that I would subscribe, but I can say this is a very informative magazine, and also entertaining, which you do want in magazines.

I'm a history buff and I absolutely love this magazine. I learn something new from every issue. They focus on English/ British history of course, but they also include articles about history in other countries. The articles are written by historians, most of whom teach at universities, but they're easy to read and understand. I would definitely recommend this magazine to anyone interested in reading about history.

I love this magazine! I have been getting it for several years and look forward to getting it every month. I recommend it for anyone interested in history, particularly British history. The only complaint that I have is that the articles are often not very detailed, but this inspires me to go to other sources.
