With the vision of a historian and the voice of a novelist,
prize-winning author John Demos explores the social, cultural, and
psychological roots of the scourge that is witch-hunting, both in
the remote past and today. The Enemy Within chronicles the most
prominent witch-hunts of the Western world-women and men who were
targeted by suspicious neighbors and accused of committing horrific
crimes by supernatural means-and shows how the fear of witchcraft
has fueled recurrent cycles of accusation, persecution, and
purging. A unique and fascinating book, it illumines the dark side
of communities driven to rid themselves of perceived evil, no
matter what the human cost.
