The Secret of Bryn Estyn The Making of a Modern Witch Hunt READERS WRITE: 'T has got hold of the book before me and is well into it. He says it’s gripping and frightening and obviously courageous. Will read it ASAP myself! Good luck.' A 'Thinking about the whole narrative, I suppose that the part I found most shocking of all was not the role played by X, nor by the police; not even the role of the wretchedly self-seeking Y. The real villain of the piece as I saw it was Waterhouse … Waterhouse's intervention in Jennings' cross-examination of Waite was chilling in its absolute determination to prevent the truth from coming out in the courtroom, despite the whole judicial process having been set up supposedly 'to uncover the truth' . The whole episode could have come straight out of a Stalinist show trial of the 40s and 50s.' R 'I have completed reading your brilliant book and am going to read it again . . . It’s an astonishing book.' S 'I do hope someone has the courage to run reviews. Have you had any personal threats? I thought it was an impressive and scholarly book, very badly needed. I literally felt ill on reading about some of the outcomes.' Professor X 'The book is excellent! I must say I had assumed it would be very informative but rather like a text book. Not at all. I found it compelling reading and difficult to put down. Well done and thank you.' J 'Thought I'd let you know that I was not really looking forward to reading 700 odd "dry, dusty" pages. But last night I couldn't put the book down till 2.30am and was again reading it at 6am!! Riveting stuff.' R . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
