THE AMBOY DUKES

Over two million copies of this novel have been sold in the United States. Of the novel, this has been said, "The Amboy Dukes represent a small minority among boy gangs, but because of over-crowded schools and tired teachers, racial and religious tensions, that small minority is becoming alarmingly less small. That is why Mr. Shulman's book is important and timely." With its slashing realism it is one of the best novels on juvenile delinquency ever written.

They were smart young kids with souped up motor cycles, ornamented black leather jackets and skid-lids.

They larked around and took big risks; but, in the main, they were harmless enough.

Until, that is, crime came unbidden into their midst . . .

"At thirteen," says Barbara Quinn, "I was a gang leader in Yonkers, N.Y. At fourteen, I was arrested for sexual assault. At sixteen, I was married (the marriage didn't last long), at seventeen, I was a mother.

"At nineteen, I was a prostitute, mugger and thief. I drifted in and out of institutions  for three years . . . and attempted suicide by knife, gas and pills."

Today Barbara is a Senior Addiction Specialist in the Human Resources Administration of the City of New York. Synanon was the turning point. She dropped the nickname "Cookie" and became Barbara once again.

After intense self-examination, she has written this courageous, explosive account of her youth. Those who are not repelled by the horror of this gripping history will be rewarded with the heartening story of a young girl's struggle for identity.
