The Amboy Dukes is a 1947 novel by Irving Shulman, his first. The novel concerns the misadventures of a 1940s Jewish street gang of young toughs based on Amboy Street in the working class Brownsville section of Brooklyn (Brownsville, from its founding into the 1950s, was a primarily Jewish neighborhood). [1]
Written in 1947, and set in 1942 Brooklyn, the novel follows Frank Abbott, a 14-year-old juvenile delinquent who is a member of the Dukes, the gang whose headquarters are on Amboy Street. Shulman doesn't pull punches - these kids are nasty individuals.
