The Warriors by Sol Yurick
The extraordinary novel that became the legendary cult movie.
Sol Yurick..was too radical, too extreme and too violent for the respectable literary establishment of New York, yet no writer more fully embodied the city's anguished spirit in the 1960's * Guardian *
The best novel of its kind I've read. An altogether perfect achievement. I'm sure that to many it will sound like sacrilege but I have to say I think it a better novel than Lord of The Flies. -- Warren Miller

Sol Yurick was born in 1925 in New York. The son of Jewish immigrants, Yurick grew up in a politically active working-class household. He enlisted in the Army during the Second World War, then studied literature before taking a job in New York City's welfare department, where he became familiar with the children of welfare families, many of whom belonged to youth gangs. This experience formed the basis for The Warriors, his first and best-known novel. He was a lifelong social activist and lived his whole life in New York; he died in Brooklyn in 2013.
