Witches

Witches delves into the dark history of witch-hunting in Europe and America between 1450 and 1750, where around 100,000 individuals faced accusations, brutal torture, and execution under the guise of combating devil-worship. The audiobook explores the misogynistic and religious roots of these persecutions, featuring letters and testimonies from the accused, profiles of key figures like Matthew Hopkins, and famous trials from Chelmsford to Salem. Through vivid accounts, Nigel Cawthorne reveals the disturbing realities of this era and the societal forces that fueled such rampant violence.
