Negative Positive
Title: A product of the backlash against survivors.
Review: This book is not only onesided, it will also , I believe, harm the cause of those who were victimized by ritual crime. It ignores the 'hard' evidence that does exist for the existence of ritual abuse, and dismisses the potential truth of the testimony of individual survivors. The authors could have balanced their skepticism with the evidence and testimony for the 'other side' regarding the reality of ritual abuse. Instead they chose to ignore it. The title says it all. Unfortunately, though, I think the 'witches' of historic Salem have more in common with those who have been tortured in ritual abuse...in both situations, their innocence is not believed and their persecution is justified by the ignorant and the perpetrators.
