Mitchell's Civil War masterpiece was first published in the UK in September 1936 (three months after its US predecessor). This is the first UK edition published (with redesigned dustwrapper) to capitalise on the success of Victor Fleming's multi-Oscar-winning feature film of the same year starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland.
