Why read it?

1 author picked The Wrath to Come as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Wrath to Come is a stirring and challenging book that exposes so many of the myths Americans deploy so that we can ignore the dark chapters of our nation's history, and soothe our conciseness. Churchwell wrote a thoroughly researched yet extremely readable book that uses Gone with the Wind as a vehicle to identify and catalog myths in the American understanding of our history. This book was released in 2022 but it has only become more relevant since it was released.
