Stop mass hysteria : America's insanity from the Salem witch trials to the Trump witch hunt

Savage, Michael 1942- (author.).

Summary: Social and economic issues, even national security, have become loud, violent flashpoints for political rivals in the government, in the media and on the streets. Savage not only deconstructs the Left's unhinged response to traditional American values, but takes the reader on an unprecedented journey through mass hysteria's long history in the United States. He recounts the many times collective insanity has gripped the American public, and shows how it was often prompted by sinister politicians with ulterior motives. -- adapted from jacket
