Críticas:

"Abe Rosenthal had fresh eyes for what was happening in America. He told a stunning, tragic story and called each one of us to account for adverting our eyes-and-hearts-and-voices."

Reseña del editor:

A classic reissue of a watershed in crime reporting and understanding human behaviour - now with a forward by New York Times reporter Samuel Freedman Originally published in 1964, Thirty-Eight Witnesses details the horrific stabbing of Kitty Genovese just outside her home, while neighbours - the 38 witnesses referred to in the title - stood silently by and did nothing, even after she was stabbed and stalked by her killer for over an hour, resulting in her tragic death. This event was a watershed in crime reporting, in questioning why people act, or don't, when another is in danger, and in trying to understand contemporary urban life. Now, over 40 years later, understanding the nature of this terrible crime - and the necessity of intervening on behalf of our fellow human beings - is important as ever.
