NP Beyond Chutzpah

[davemarc]

Dave Monroe recently posted a University of California Press blurb for
Norman Finkelstein's book Beyond Chutzpah, the "long-awaited sequal to his
international bestseller The Holocaust Industry."

Here's some of what Alan Dershowitz writes about Finkelstein (his vociferous
critic) at
http://www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/dershowitz/statement.html:

"Finkelstein is a Holocaust revisionist who is lionized by neo-Nazis for his
absurd claims that a worldwide Jewish conspiracy exists, headed by Steven
Spielberg, Leon Uris, Elie Wiesel, Daniel Goldhagen and others.  Almost no
one-except neo-Nazis-takes him seriously."

Now, I think this could well be something of an exaggeration, depending in
part on what your definition "almost." is. I just thought I'd share this to
provide an alternate perspective with respect to the glowing blurb copy.
