entitled "The Man Who Shocked The World: The Life and Legacy of Stanley Milgram," was just published this year.
The author, Dr. Thomas Blass, is a psychology professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and considered the authority on the life and work of Milgram.
He's created an excellent website, which provides much provocative and interesting information about the legendary Milgram.
Among other things, I learned that Milgram made six films about his work, all available for purchase.
The first of them was the black-and-white documentary "Obedience," shot at Yale University in May, 1962, right after he completed his groundbreaking, controversial series of experiments.
He was only 29 years old at the time.
Milgram would go on to produce many other creative, provocative experiments, including the "Small-World Method" (the source of "Six Degrees of Separation), the "Lost-Letter Technique," and an experiment testing the effects of televised antisocial behavior.

fascinating post, Joe, I knew of the shock experiments but had forgotten who conducted them and had no idea he had done so much other important work. Thanks!
