This book brings Reginald Rose's long and successful career, its origins and accomplishments, into view at long last. His 1960s series, The Defenders, was the finest drama of its age and set the standard for legal dramas. More than any writer in the Golden Age of Television, Reginald Rose took up vital social issues of the day-from racial prejudice to juvenile delinquency to civil liberties-and made them accessible to a wide audience. Reginald Rose and the Journey of ''12 Angry Men'' tells two stories: the life of a great writer and the journey of his most famous work, one that ultimately outshined its author.

Few twentieth-century American dramatic works have had the acclaim and impact of 12 Angry Men. It is also a favorite of the legal profession for its portrayal of ordinary citizens reaching a just verdict and widely taught for its depiction of group dynamics and human relations.

Today, 12 Angry Men is acclaimed as a movie classic, revered by the critics, beloved by the public, and widely performed as a stage play, touching audiences around the world. Consisting of little more than a dozen men arguing in a dingy room, it was a failure at the box office and soon faded from view.
