Description

A Delusion Of Satan: The Full Story Of The Salem Witch Trials by Frances Hill In 1692, a small community in colonial America was gripped by hysteria and fear. A group of young girls claimed to be possessed by the devil, and soon the accusations snowballed into a devastating witch hunt that would claim the lives of twenty people. This book tells the story of the Salem witch trials with unflinching clarity, revealing the complex web of motivations and desires that drove the crisis. From the desperate attempts to cover up personal vendettas to the tragic fate of a four-year-old girl chained in darkness, Hill's account is a sobering reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of standing up against injustice. A gripping and thought-provoking history that sheds new light on one of America's darkest periods.
