Current History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Current History is the oldest United States publication devoted exclusively to world affairs. Current History was founded by George Washington Ochs Oakes, the brother of The New York Times publisher Adolph Ochs, in 1914 in order to provide detailed coverage of World War I. The magazine has no institutional, political, or governmental affiliations, and is privately owned. It is published monthly, from September through May.

Past contributors to Current History have included George Bernard Shaw, Winston Churchill, Charles Beard, and Henry Steele Commager. In more recent years, it has featured names like James Schlesinger, Norman Cousins, Marshall Goldman, Peter Arnett, and Francis Fukuyama. In a recent issue on the Middle East it published articles by Juan Cole and John McCain.
