In the Devil's Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692 by Mary Beth Norton

4.0

Possibly a weeeeee bit too thorough because it was very repetitive towards the end there. (I am, of course, a terrible human being for finding the loss of life repetitive. Acknowledged.) It is brilliant though for really getting to the heart of how and why this crisis was so particular to *these* people at *this* time and how closely it was linked to the ongoing aggressions with the local Indians.
