"[Rosenthal] told a stunning, tragic story and called each one
of us to account for averting our eyes—and hearts—and voices."-Mike
Wallace, 60 Minutes
It remains one of the most notorious deaths in New York City
history not because of who was murdered but because of the
circumstances: 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was brutally murdered, in
an attack that took nearly thirty minutes and had thirty-eight
witnesses...not one of whom did a thing to stop the murderer or
even call for help.
A.M. Rosenthal, who would later become one of the most famous and
controversial editors The New York Times has ever had, was the
newspaper's city editor then; the murder happened on his beat. He
first published this book in 1964, the year of the murder. It is
part memoir, part investigative journalism, and part public
service.
