MHQ is perhaps the most in-depth publication of military history that is regularly available. The range of subjects span from ancient history and the battles of the Greeks, Romans, Chinese and others, to what has happened in the last 15 years/ Desert Storm.

Most of the authors are very experienced, and the names of most of them can be found in your favorite bookstore's History section. Maps and photos help illustrate everything, and the magazine itself holds up a lot better with time than most thin-papered pages. It is surprisingly durable.

I have used this magazine many times in preapring material for my history classes, and while it can by dry in some points, and certain topics aren't always in my interest area, its scholarly and informative efforts make it a far better than average magazine in its scope and quality. In short, its biggest drawback may be its quarterly issuance, since it seems to not come out often enough.

I've been getting this magazine since it first came out years ago, and every issue is just as exciting as the first. It not only gives you the military aspect of events, but often goes into detail as to how and why these events occured, which is invaluable in itself. I can't wait for the next issue to come out, and wish it would come out more often. And the fact that it comes in hardcover format makes a nice presentation on my bookshelf. Thank you MHQ

TQJMH is different from other history publications because it looks for not well known events and stories that are important for military history buffs and historians in general. Attention to detail is very important for historians and TQJMH does this very well. Thumbs up for TQJMH.

MHQ no longer publishes a hardcover edition for subscribers. Instead they add more content and articles than the newsstand version. Very good and informative military history magazine, but greatly overpriced here on Amazon. Go to the publishers website and get two years for $59.

The magazine is ok, its on par with Miltary Heritage magazine in my opinion. It is in a hardcover binding so that justifies the increased pricing but I dont think its worth 9.00 an issue. I could buy a nice book for that amount, plus they shipped me if I remember correctly 3 of the 4 issues for the year in the first 3 months so it really seems like a ripoff to pay 35.00+
and not get it for much of the year.

An excellent source of military information.
