Not your everyday murder, and yet, it tragically is. Christian Engler Not that far back, I was with a group of friends and one of them recounted how he had seen a woman fall in front of a restaurant. We inquired if she had gotten up, and he said no. But, he insisted, other people were there to help. We asked why he did not volunteer to help the injured woman. He said that he would have been more of a burden than a help. And it was through this simple discussion that the case of murdered New Yorker Catherine "Kitty" Genovese popped up.A.M. Rosentha.

But not much has changed in the ensuing years, as crime goes on all around us and we do nothing to help.Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter A. We would like to think that we would step in and do what we could to stop the carnage. On March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese was brutally beaten and murdered in the street near her apartment, in full view of more than three dozen friends and neighbors—and no one did a thing to stop it. Rosenthal covered the case for the paper as its city editor, and his chronicle of the events became this book. More than thirty-five years after its first publication, Thirty-Eight Witnesses, the true account of what transpired that night in Queens, New York, continues to disturb us. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, part sociological study, a disturbing story of urban apathy, Thirty-Eight Witnesses puts r
The book's republication adds a haunted echo to its story, reminding the reader that things have changed since 1964, and not at all for the better.
