The victim, Catherine "Kitty" Genovese, became an urban martyr, butchered in sight of thirty-eight neighbours who "didn’t want to get involved". Her sensational case provoked an outcry and launched a sociological theory known as the "Bystander Effect". On the fiftieth anniversary of her murder, Kevin Cook presents the real Genovese. "Gripping" (The New York Times) and "Provocative" (The Wall Street Journal), Kitty Genovese evokes the gay and lesbian underground of Greenwich Village with feeling and detail. Cook reconstructs the crime, and drawing on lost documents and new interviews, explores the legacy of the case. His account of what happened is the most accurate and chilling to date.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 244mmItem Length: 165mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 468gAuthor: Kevin CookGenre: BiographyRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
