  When Doug Century, a white, affluent Princeton graduate, met a streetwise rapper who'd once led an 80-member Brooklyn crack gang, he didn't run away. Instead, he got in deep. Century spent the next five years with 30 men raised on violence and taught to impose their will on others, but who are nevertheless desperate to find a way out. Unsentimental, yet completely involving, Street Kingdom, paints an unforgettable portrait of life on the street and the vibrant characters who represent both its most vicious criminals and most heartbreaking victims.

  This riveting portrait of Brooklyn's most feared street gang, the Franklin Avenue Posse, offers an astonishing inside view of a deadly way of life.
