With the vision of an historian and the voice of a novelist,
prize-winning author John Demos explores the social, cultural and
psychological roots of the scourge that is witch-hunting, both in
the remote past and today. "The Enemy Within" chronicles the most
prominent witch-hunts of the Western world - women and men who were
targeted by suspicious neighbours and accused of committing
horrific crimes by supernatural means - and shows how the fear of
witchcraft has fueled recurrent cycles of accusation, persecution
and purging. A unique and fascinating book, it illuminates the dark
side of communities driven to rid themselves of perceived evil, no
matter what the human cost.
