THIRTY-EIGHT WITNESSES(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　”[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.

　　”This is a most important book by perhaps the most important
newspaper editor of the last half-century.”
　　—Gay Talese, author of The Kingdom and the Power
　　”A memorable book…that needs to be available to…anyone who
struggles to…live an honorable life within one or another
community or neighborhood.”
　　—Robert Coles, author of The Moral Life of Children
　　“It resembles a time capsule in some respects… several of the
haunting questions Rosenthal raised, generalized to any such
situation, remain unanswerable, and link as firmly to the present
as they did to their own time.”
　　—Art Winslow, Chicago Tribune
　　“A look at our collective guilt for Genovese’s murder, the way we
are all complicit when the rules of society start breaking down…
It’s a vivid argument, and 44 years later, it has more to tell us
than some moralistic tale of apathy.”
　　—David Ulin, Los Angeles Times
　　“Now the classic book on the subject is out … stunning new
introduction.”
　　—Liz Smith
　　“Years after its first printing, Thirty-Eight Witnesses remains a
starkly terrifying morality play.”
　　—Publishers Weekly
　　“Concerns an event that seemed to symbolize everything that was
wrong with contemporary New York: a 30-minute attack, culminating
in murder, on a young Queens woman, heard by 38 neighbors, none of
whom called the police. Reissued in a series of classic works of
journalism, this edition includes a preface by Samuel G. Freedman
and an introduction by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.”
