The Crucible is a fictional story about the Salem Witch Panic. Just don't take any facts from the Crucible and believe them, its fiction after all.
The Crucible tells about the Salem panic using facts that make the panic into a close parallel with McCarthyism.
That would be "The Crucible". Written in 1953 by Arthur Miller.
The Crucible is a play by Arthur Miller in which he mangled facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to McCarthyism in the 1950s.
