History Hack: The Peninsula War

The story of the American South that Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind tells has codified a version of history in popular minds that did not exist. Ahead of the release of her new book, The Wrath to Come: Gone With the Wind and the Lies America Tells, Sarah Churchwell, Professor of American Literature at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, joins Boney and Charly to discuss the realities that Mitchell attempted to hide underneath all the hoop skirts.
