A searing novel of a street gang, their girls, their “whores,” their crimes. Here is the explosive, inside story of life as lived by the children of violence - the fighting, the killing, the drugs, the promiscuous sex. Charged as obscene upon its original publication, “The Amboy Dukes” now stands as a monument of stark truth. A classic of its kind, this powerful novel serves to warn all of us about the depths of juvenile depravity.
