Fourth of July night in New York City. In the darkness of the Bronx, thousands of boys have gathered from across the city for a conclave of New York's disparate youth gangs. Among them are the warriors of the Coney Island Dominators. But when the meeting descends into violence, the Dominators are suddenly a very long way from home. The Warriors follows the Dominators as they make their way back to Coney Island through the terrifying New York night. First published in 1965, Sol Yurick's bleak and shocking novel is a brutal tale of young men left to raise themselves.
