Book Reviews of The Devil in Massachusetts: A Modern Enquiry into the Salem Witch Trials

Book Review: Factual yet interesting.
Summary: 3 Stars

A six for a better than average historical account. This book strips away the mystery of the Salem witch trials and reveals a very human source of the hysteria. The possibilities of another "witch scare" exist still today. Understandable and insightful, it should be of interest to historians and to anyone who find this spotlight of American history intriguing.
