Even the title of Cohen's book and its cover art--a brass-knuckled fist--are lifted directly from a book published eight years ago, Paul Breines' Tough  Political Fantasies and the Moral Dilemma of American Jewry , which analyzes the psychological underpinnings of the cult of Jewish toughness born after Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War.
Paul Breines' is on the list of New York Bestsellers for his book that was published over 5 year ago.
