The basis for the cult-classic film The Warriors chronicles one New York City gang's nocturnal journey through the seedy, dangerous subways and city streets of the 1960s.

"Warriors, come out to play-yay!"

Every gang in the city meets on a sweltering July 4 night in a Bronx park for a peace rally. The crowd of miscreants turns violent after a prominent gang leader is killed and chaos prevails over the attempt at order. The Warriors follows the Dominators making their way back to their home territory without being killed. The police are prowling the city in search of anyone involved in the mayhem. An exhilarating novel that examines New York City teenagers, left behind by society, who form identity and personal strength through their affiliation with their "family," The Warriors "goes to the core of the heart of darkness" as it weaves together social commentary with ancient legends for a classic coming-of-age tale (Flyer).

This edition includes a new introduction by the author.

"It seems to me the best novel of its kind I've ever read, an altogether perfect achievement. I'm sure that to many it will sound like sacrilege but I have to say that I think it a better novel than Lord of the Flies." -- Warren Miller, author of The Cool World
