Thomas Blass (Ed.) (2000).  Obedience to Authority:  Current Perspectives on the Milgram Paradigm.  Mahwah, NJ:  Erlbaum.
This book contains mostly original, invited chapters meant to demonstrate the contemporary vibrancy of the obedience studies.  My own chapter in it is titled, “The Milgram paradigm after 35 years:  Some things we now know about obedience to authority.”
