What caused four recently bar mitzvahed middle-class youths to go on a crime spree of assault and murder in 1954? This book provides a compelling narrative retelling of the boys, their crimes, and a U.S. culture obsessed with juvenile delinquency.


• Tells a fascinating true crime story involving murder, juvenile delinquency, secret sexualities, and obscene comic books from a time in American history often portrayed as idyllic and innocent

• Provides revealing insights into the anxieties of the post-Holocaust Jewish-American community

• Supplies a new angle on the Great Comic Book Scare and the anti-comics movement

• Based on original, archival research using materials that have never been published
