All the Pieces Matter: THE INSIDE STORY OF THE WIRE

The definitive oral history of the iconic and beloved TV show The Wire, as told by the actors, writers, directors, and others involved in its creation Since its final episode aired 10 years ago, the acclaimed crime drama The Wire has only become more popular and influential. The issues it tackled, from the failures of the drug war and criminal justice system to systemic bias in law enforcement and other social institutions, have become major topics in the national conversation. The show's actors, such as Idris Elba and Dominic West, have gone on to become major stars. Its creators and writers have developed dedicated cult followings of their own. Universities use the show to teach everything from film theory, to criminal justice and sociology. It is arguably one of the great works of art America has produced in the 21st century.

But while there has been a great deal of critical analysis of the show and its themes, until now there has never been a definitive, behind-the-scenes take on how it came to be made. With unparalleled access to all the key actors and writers involved in its creation, Jonathan Abrams tells the astonishing, compelling, and complete account of The Wire, from its inception and creation through its end and powerful legacy.
