D233 Witches: The History of a Persecution, Nigel Cawthorne

D233  Witches: The History of a Persecution, Nigel Cawthorne

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.
