About

"What is Conflicted?"

Each episode of Conflicted is a self-contained story. Every month, host Zach Cornwell examines a new historical controversy; a struggle or conflict that raises difficult questions and challenges our assumptions about the past.

As an anthology, Conflicted is not bound by any time period, subject, or era. But each topic is vigorously researched and sourced to attain a comprehensive, holistic view of the issues. The past is never simple, and we take great pains to treat it with the respect and nuance it deserves.
