When bigotry and power-mania take control, disaster always follows
for subjugated persons - even when the power is wielded by the
Church. Witchcraft was viewed as devil-worship. Between 1450 and
1750, one hundred thousand people were accused, subject to the most
bestial tortures and usually executed. Witches examines the
wildfire-spread of witch hunting across Europe and America, as well
as its roots in misogyny and religious persecution. It includes: *
Letters and trial testimonies from those charged with witchcraft,
as well as some from self-proclaimed witches * Biographic detail of
key witch hunters, such as Matthew Hopkins (the so-called
Witchfinder General) who was responsible for hundreds of executions
* Accounts of famous witch trials, from Chelmsford to Salam Nigel
Cawthorne explores the real facts behind this persecution and the
contexts that triggered it, tracing it back to its source.
