| Summary: | Originally broadcast on The History Channel UK, Charging Into History has been described by critics as ""the definitive documentary on battle re-enactors and living historians."" It proved a ratings and critical success, and was shortlisted for the Longman/History Today documentary prize.

Featuring in-depth interviews with academics and historians, both supporters and critics of living history, including Dr Mark Connelly, an historian at the University of Kent and writer on popular culture, Howard Giles, the former director of English Heritage's History In Action program and now M.D. of Event Plan, and Dr. Adam Smith of University College London, and author of The American Civil War. |
