"A near-perfect read about hysteria, cancel culture, and the history of religious freedom. . . The authors allow the facts to rattle, provoke, and horrify the reader." - Front Page Magazine

Synopsis
The instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestseller! Killing the Witches revisits one of the most frightening and inexplicable episodes in American history: the events of 1692 and 1693 in Salem Village, Massachusetts. What began as a mysterious affliction of two young girls who suffered violent fits and exhibited strange behavior soon spread to other young women. Rumors of demonic possession and witchcraft consumed Salem. Soon three women were arrested under suspicion of being witches--but as the hysteria spread, more than 200 people were accused. Thirty were found guilty, twenty were executed, and others died in jail or their lives were ruined. Killing the Witches tells the dramatic history of how the Puritan tradition and the power of early American ministers shaped the origins of the United States, influencing the founding fathers, the American Revolution, and even the Constitutional Convention. The repercussions of Salem continue to the present day, notably in the real-life story behind The Exorcist and in contemporary "witch hunts" driven by social media. The result is a compulsively readable book about good, evil, community panic, and how fear can overwhelm fact and reason.

      Fascinating from start to finish. Riveting

      The writing style & content of EVERY Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard book I have read is simply outstanding. They seem to love this country and its history while at the same time including controversial subjects. Why read novels and fictional stories when they can & do bring history to life in the most wonderful, exciting and interesting ways? I love it.

    • Great story with a few loose ends. I give it a B

      Great story . A somewhat confusing medley of different characters but they do at least try to simplify it somewhat. I would have liked a little more background on King James and the witch trials in Connecticut but overall the story had me searching facts I was not aware of. No wonder Puritanism died out they were way to overbearing and powerful .

    • Killimg The Witches

      Bill OReilly does it again! He tells the information in a way that is light, entertaining and exacting in detail. I have loved all the Killimg books I’ve read so far. Highly recommend.

    • Your local history like you never remember.

      I think the best part of this book is that everyone named in both the early and late 1600’s chapters has a street or a College named after them. A must read for anyone from New England.

    • Puts perspective on the idea people migrated here for religious freedom. It was more about intolerance of other ideas and thoughts.

      Certainly allows the reader to put in perspective of early political thought in the Americas. Our country was founded on religious intolerance, zealotry, and superstition.
