Finally to page 28, the only page on which Felshman comes close to dealing with something important. The fact of the matter is that Alan Dershowitz spent the better part of the past 12 months employing repressive, thuggish tactics, including the threat of litigation (How many times do you suppose Dershowitz can remind the people he’d like to silence that if he sues them he’ll “own” them?), to frighten two American publishing houses away from the manuscript that became (even with its lawyerly deletions and revisions) Beyond Chutzpah. And what did Jeffrey Felshman and the Reader make of it?
