History Today, Vol. 76 #8

This is the August 2026 issue of the magazine launched by Winston Churchill in 1951 and initially criticised for its silver-spoon nature, now independently run and praised for its accessibility to in-depth global history.

It leads with a cover feature on Cicero and Caesar’s complex alliance defined by mutual intellectual respect and fiercely opposing ideologies. Plus Steven Casey on Roosevelt’s declaration of peace, and Ross Brooks on Darwin’s controversial theories on sexual selection.
