Current History

he oldest US publication devoted exclusively to world affairs, Current History was founded by The New York Times in 1914 to provide detailed coverage of what was then known as the Great War. As a privately owned publication, Current History has continued a long tradition of groundbreaking coverage, providing a forum for leading scholars and special... ists to analyze events and trends in every region of a rapidly changing world. Past contributors to Current History have included writers such as George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill, Charles Beard, and Henry Steele Commager.

Regular monthly features include customized maps, and, only in Current History, The Month in Review, a chronological roundup, nation by nation, of major international events. Current History's only obligation is to its readers. It has no affiliation with any institution, political organization, or government body. As such, it retains an independence and objectivity that few other journals can share.
