During the 1950s, the U.S. had a “witch hunt” search for closeted communists, with people pointing fingers at each other and Congress interrogating the accused. In 1953, Arthur Miller wrote an allegory, likening McCarthyism to the true witch hunts of Salem.

Two and a half days of hell. No sleep, not a lot of food, and no time to eat it. Learning to trust your teammates.
