For all of those interested in reading about witchcraft hysteria, Ms. Roach's new book, The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-To-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege, (written after twenty-seven years of exhaustive research) documents the day-by-day events which culminated in one of the most shameful and horrifying chapters in America's heritage. Her meticulous footnoting and chronological accounts of how this historical oddity unfolded makes this book a valuable tool for historians and students. Also, the careful writing makes it an enjoyable reading for those that like to be caught up in the glorious intonations of prosaic language. Highly recommended!

This was a used book that new was over $30.00, yet I bought it used for only a few dollars, and it was in brand new condition. Exactly what the description said.

This novel is an excellent look into the exact events that took place during a six year period in history. It goes into great detail about all the various trials, the people and events of the time that contributed to create one of the most intriguing times in history.
