Military History Monthly was added to Current Publishing’s roster in October 2010 as Military Times before obtaining its current title in November 2011. It is edited by Neil Faulkner, and covers all aspects of military history, from battles of the ancient world, up to more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
