Download Ancient Warfare Magazine in PDF Format and Learn About the Battles of the Past

When my colleague started our first magazine, Ancient Warfare, his first goal was to make sure that this issue would fill the vacuum which existed in within the world of military history magazines. At that time, some 6 years ago, there were only a limited number of magazines about this theme, and most of them were written in French or Spanish. Those English military magazines which did exist focused mostly on military history in general, with a clear emphasis on modern or early modern history. Thus, it was decided to launch a magazine which would fill the gap, and which would focus exclusively on ancient times. Because my colleague had a lot of contacts within the community of ancient warfare enthusiasts, both scientific and amateuristic, he had a clear idea of what kind of magazine would be best. On the one hand, it would be a magazine aimed at a broad audience, with information accessible to both professional historians and enthusiastic amateurs and with plenty of historically accurate and relevant pictures and illustrations to illustrate the articles. On the other hand, it was deemed important that all articles were directly based on modern historical research in order to provide our readers with the most recent and relevant information available, composed by both professional historians, as well as amateuristic but knowledgeable writers.

After Ancient Warfare was launched in 2007, it quickly turned out to be a success. After 4 years of publishing, the circulation was quadrupled, both by the rapidly growing number of subscribers and the fact that the magazine became available in large bookstores in, amongst others, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. Once we realized that there was a great demand for such a specialized military magazine, and once Ancient Warfare was firmly establishing itself within the ancient military community, we started to look at the next step to take.

Ancient Warfare is the only English language magazine to deal exclusively with the military history of the ancient Mediterranean.

Against the Odds magazine investigates military history from a broad perspective. The economic, political, religious and social aspects of warfare are examined in concert with events on the battlefield.

During April 1979, an epidemic of anthrax occurred among the citizens of Sverdlovsk (now Ekaterinburg), Russia. The epidemic occurred among people who lived and worked near a Soviet military microbiology facility (Compound 19) in Sverdlovsk. In addition, many livestock died of anthrax in the same area, out to a distance of 50 km (27). European and US intelligence suspected that this facility conducted biological warfare research and attributed the epidemic to an accidental release of anthrax spores. Early in February 1980, the widely distributed German newspaper Bild Zeitung carried a story about an accident in a Soviet military settlement in Sverdlovsk in which an anthrax cloud had resulted (28). When this story was published, other major Western newspapers and magazines began to take an interest in the anthrax outbreak in Sverdlovsk, a city of 1.2 million people, 1400 km east of Moscow. Later that year several articles occurred in Soviet medical, veterinary, and legal journals reporting an anthrax outbreak among livestock. Human cases of anthrax were attributed to the ingestion of contaminated meat.
