Our limited-edition Autumn 2026 promotional issue gives our future readers and distributors a look at what they can expect from We Love History Magazine.

How exactly could one man attain the power to enact the genocide of millions and the ruination of an entire continent, with an entire nation supporting him? Further topics in this issue include the daring female war correspondent Dickey Chapelle, the strange human experiments of a 19th-century French doctor, and the unique story of one of Rembrandt’s most iconic paintings.
