This book is written by an accomplished professor and is not designed to provide a watered-down account of the events that occurred in Salem. If you are interested in reading academic-level text (and are able to) this is a great book for that. If not, you will want to find something a little more simple.
A clear headed look at the Salem Witch Trials

In contrast with another reviewer, I enjoyed this. It was an even-handed look at the witch trials, giving each side its say, without belittling anyone. The subject itself is crazy enough without embellishments.
Just no.

I was not impressed with this book. I bought it looking for a history of the witch trials, some of which I got. However, the author is long winded in her descriptions and thumps from one year to another within paragraphs/even sentences, which made for an exceptionally confusing read. Please find another book to read if possible on the topic.
