Whores of the Devil: Witch-Hunts & Witch-Trials. - Erik Durschmied

Witches are usually depicted as broom clutching old women with grey hair and warts on their noses. That is obviously a fiction but real women have been executed upon accusations of witchcraft. What were they actually like? Did they have herb knowledge? Were the victims of vendettas? Whores of the Devil explores this macabre history. Who were the cruel butchers that killed the victims? With details on historical characters such as Joan of Arc, Martin Luther and Witchfinder-General Matthew Hopkins, Whores of the Devil, despite its lurid name, provides a sober look at some of the worst tragedies in history.
