Summary:  "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. 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. Psychologically thrilling and historically seminal, this is Stacy Schiff's account of this fantastical story -- the first great American mystery unveiled fully by one of our most acclaimed historians. Stacy Schiff is the author of Véra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov), winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Saint-Exupéry; and Cleopatra: A Life. She lives in New York City"--Provided by publisher.
