What are the lessons that one can learn from the history of Russia and Ukraine? In our Spring 2022 issue, we published a special section bringing together expert opinions on the question.

As a new presidential administration pushes to end the war between the two countries, many of these essays are worth revisiting.

You will find many treasures hidden in the American Heritage archives – more than 11,000 essays published over a span of 75 years. Nearly 2,500 writers contributed those stories that have literally become the memory of America.

Nearly 2,500 historians and authors have helped us write the history of America.

“Over the years American Heritage has broken many stories of national importance,” recalled Richard Snow, my predecessor as Editor. “The purported pre-Columbian Vineland Map of North America, the case for Thomas Jefferson’s having fathered children with Sally Hemings (disclosed in 1972), the Duke of Windsor’s pro-Nazi views, and FDR’s secret Oval Office tape recordings all were revealed in our pages first.”
