Book Synopsis
Witch hunts are the products of intense fear and paranoia and the results are often terrible. This book analyzes witch hunts in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and finds many of the same elements repeated in various miscarriages of justice. It cites that Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the prisons created for 'witches' (terrorists) since Salem.

Trade Review
"This book is the most sustained effort so far to explore witch-hunts in two very different historical periods - a subject of great interest in a world preoccupied with criminal trials of every conceivable variety." Brian Levack, University of Austin Texas
