The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Cleopatra, the #1
national bestseller, unpacks the mystery of the Salem Witch
Trials. It began in 1692, over an exceptionally raw Massachusetts
winter, when a minister's daughter began to scream and
convulse. It ended less than a year later, but not before 19
men and women had been hanged and an elderly man crushed to
death. The panic spread quickly, involving the most educated men
and prominent politicians in the colony. Neighbors accused
neighbors, parents and children each other. Aside from
suffrage, the Salem Witch Trials represent the only moment
when women played the central role in American history. In
curious ways, the trials would shape the future republic. As psychologically thrilling as it is historically seminal,
THE WITCHES is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical
story-the first great American mystery unveiled fully for
the first time by one of our most acclaimed historians.
