Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When children's words become weapons, truth is the first casualty.In 1593, in the quiet English village of Warboys, a group of children accused their neighbors of witchcraft. What followed was not chaos-but a carefully guided process that transformed suggestion into certainty, imagination into evidence, and fear into law.Devil in the Details is a forensic investigation into one of the most disturbing witch trials in English history. Drawing on surviving court records, interrogation transcripts, and modern linguistic analysis, this book reveals how leading questions, authority pressure, and social expectation combined to manufacture a deadly narrative of guilt.Rather than treating the Warboys accusations as superstition or madness, this book exposes the mechanics of false confession-how adults and institutions unknowingly collaborated with vulnerable minds to co-author a reality that felt true to everyone involved.This is not just a history of witch trials.It is a study of: - How testimony is shaped under pressure- How power scripts memory- How systems of justice can create truth instead of discovering itEssential reading for fans of historical true crime, legal history, psychology of testimony, and anyone concerned with how easily fear can replace evidence.…
