premise: 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.
hypothesis: Paul Breines' is on the list of New York Bestsellers for his book that was published over 5 year ago.
