An in depth history of the Salem Witch trials. Written in a easy to read style.This book makes for an intriguing read.It is striking to see the same patterns of other historical events; where; first the week and venerable are accused and vilified. Then eventually others are brought in with further condemnation. Those doing the accusing seem always to amass more power to themselves.I highly recommend this book.
