I was never too impressed with the magazine. OK on a fairly basic level, but very US-centric and I found problems with its accuracy. Mostly, though, the writing was uninspiring.

I really like the World War II Magazine but I do agree that most of the magazine cover the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II, you will find very few article on the Eastern Front, but they are exception, last year there was an excellent article about the Kurland Pocket Battles and I bought it right away. Anyway, you can also read the article online so you will have an idea before you buy it.

Regards

I've always found it more for the casual WW2 reader (with a distinct American slant...) than a serious research journal.

If you really want to delve into modern conflict, then I'd suggest:

Militargeschichtliche Mitteilungen
VfZ
Journal of Strategic Studies
Journal of Military History
War in (or and?) Society
War in History

and sometimes

Journal of Contemporary History
German History[/i]

Thanks for the replies and for also suggesting other magazines.

The thing that keeping my eyes on the World War II Magazine is my favorite authors like Michael Reynolds and George Winters write interesting and readable articles periodically.
