London England: Hamish Hamilton. Near Fine/Near Fine. 1996. First Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0241136725 Hardcover Hardcover First Edition. A Dekusion od Satan.l The Full Story of the Saloem Witch Trials. The Salem witch-hunt and trials have been a source of fascination and speculation for centuries, most famously in Arthur miller's play The Crucible. In this book, the author takes us through the truth of those horrifying events and explains in clear and factual terms exactly how over one hundred men, women and children came to be shackled in the dank prisons of Salem, charged with witchcraft. Ultimately, nineteen were hanged at Gallows Hill, one was pressed to death under a pile of stones, and many simply languished in prison for months on end, helplessly losing their families, homes and possessions. Many lost their luves, some their sanity. But what really happened? Were the accused truly evil in siome way? And if not,k how could a grup of teenages contrive such a cruel and convincing outcome? What were the politics behind the scenes. Drawing on the insights f modern psychiology and feminism, this book answers these questions and more, and forces us to recognize hints of 'witch-hunts' in the McCarthysim of the more recent past and in current events such as alleged child-abuse cases. As the author states at the outset, 'in searching for the truth about the devils of Salem we shall investigate the demons in all human societies and all human souls'.

During the bleak winter of 1692 in the rigid Puritan community of Salem Village, Massachusetts, a group of young girls began experiencing violent fits, allegedly tormented by Satan and the witches who worshipped him. From the girls' initial denouncing of an Indian slave, the accusations soon multiplied. In less than two years, nineteen men and women were hanged, one was pressed to death, and over a hundred others were imprisoned and impoverished. This evenhanded and now-classic history illuminates the horrifying episode with visceral clarity, from the opportunistic Putnam clan, who fanned the crisis to satisfy personal vendettas and greed, to four-year-old "witch" Dorcas Good, who was chained to a dank prison wall in darkness till she went mad. By placing the distant period of the Salem witch trials in the larger context of more contemporary eruptions of mass hysteria and intolerance, the author has created a work as thought-provoking as it is emotionally powerful.
