  The history America never wanted you to read. 
  'The narrative took my breath away' Philippe Sands 
  'An extraordinarily and shockingly powerful read' Peter Frankopan 
  'One of the must-reads of the year' Suzannah Lipscomb 
  'Brilliant and provocative' Gavin Esler 
   
  Sarah Churchwell examines one of the most enduringly popular stories of all time, Gone with the Wind, to help explain the divisions ripping the United States apart today. Separating fact from fiction, she shows how histories of mythmaking have informed America's racial and gender politics, the controversies over Confederate statues, the resurgence of white nationalism, the Black Lives Matter movement, the enduring power of the American Dream, and the violence of Trumpism. 
   
  Gone with the Wind was an instant bestseller when it was published in 1936; its film version became the most successful Hollywood film of all time. Today the story's racism is again a subject of controversy, but it was just as controversial in the 1930s, foreshadowing today's debates over race and American fascism. In The Wrath to Come, Sarah Churchwell charts an extraordinary journey through 160 years of American denialism. From the Lost Cause to the romances behind the Ku Klux Klan, from the invention of the 'ideal' slave plantation to the erasure of interwar fascism, Churchwell shows what happens when we do violence to history, as collective denial turns fictions into lies, and lies into a vicious reality.

  Red Is Democrat: What Happens When a Party Forgets to Change 
  by Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD 
  Do today's Democrats really stand for the values they claim—equality, justice, science, compassion? Or have those ideals become a smokescreen for something far more troubling? 
  In Red Is Democrat, Daniel Alan Brubaker, PhD, takes readers on a bold, meticulously documented journey behind the public image of America’s Democrat Party. With clarity and conviction, he examines the disconnect between the party’s professed values and its actual policies and historical trajectory. What emerges is a revealing look at how a powerful political movement has managed to sidestep accountability—often by rewriting its own past and projecting its faults onto others. 
  Have the parties really flipped? Or is that narrative a carefully constructed myth? Why do so many of the injustices Democrats say they oppose—racism, intolerance, misogyny, injustice, greed, and so forth—persist within their own ranks? And how can ordinary Americans across the political spectrum cut through the noise to find the truth? 
  Whether you identify as a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or simply a concerned citizen, this book invites you to look past slogans, scrutinize the record, and reconsider what it really means to stand for justice and truth in public life.
