The Rebbe's Army: Inside the World of Chabad-Lubavitch
Search in google:
California journalist Fishkoff describes the outreach in North America of the contemporary Chabad-Lubavitch movement within Hasidic Judaism. She emphasizes how the small group arrived from Russia and became players on the American Jewish scene, and the young couples who move to places with little or no Orthodox presence to spread the word. Some of her account has been published in The Jerusalem Post and Moment. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR The New York Times Fishkoff proves herself the equal of the most tireless shlichim as she tracks their work from the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska to the retirement belt of South Florida. A contributing writer for The Jerusalem Post, Fishkoff funnels her copious research into a comprehensive, fluent book compromised only by a somewhat worshipful tone. — Samuel G. Freedman
