    THE WIRE has been widely hailed as the greatest television series of all time. It portrays the war of attrition between the city's hardened police force and its drug dealers and the blurring of good and evil justice and injustice right and wrong. Over its five series it has built up a detailed rich and layered portrait of Baltimore: from its corner boys touting dope and its dock workers facing extinction through the strained education system and tainted halls of power to the crumbling media establishment. Rafael Alvarez - a reporter essayist and staff writer for the show - brings the reader inside this world detailing many of the real-life incidents and personalities that have inspired the show's storylines and characters. Packed with photographs and featuring an introduction by series creator and executive producer David Simon as well as essays by acclaimed authors George Pelecanos Nick Hornby Laura Lipmann and William F. Zorzi it covers all five series in glorious detail.
