Summary: "The night of July 4. Teenage violence runs wild through the streets, exploding with firecrackers and patriotic celebration. In the Bronx, the police move in to break up a citywide convention of gang leaders. Whistles, shots, pounding nightsticks, and suddenly, six members of "the Family" - the Coney Island Dominators - are alone on emeny terrain. Their desperate flight back to their native turf is a journey that will leave the awestruck reader at a new station of awareness"--Bookjacket.
