Revisionist History: The Alabama Murders
Revisionist History: The Alabama Murders

<p>Florence, Alabama. 1988. A preacher has an affair. A woman is murdered. One death cascades into more, stretching across decades and leaving no one untouched &mdash; victims, bystanders, perpetrators, and those just trying to help. Eventually, the consequences lead to the center of a hot national debate on who should be allowed to live, who should die, and how the state should kill them.</p> <p>On&nbsp;<em>The Alabama Murders</em>, Malcolm Gladwell asks: why, in our efforts to alleviate suffering, do we so often make it worse?</p> <hr> <p>Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell's journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past&mdash;an event, a person, an idea, even a song&mdash;and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Pushkin Industries.
