Negative Positive
Title: Propaganda of the nice sort
Review: Chabad Lubavitch is a highly sophisticated philosophical system. This is the true driving force of The Rebbe's Army. That's why it's somewhat sad to see this book depend on 'propaganda' to make its point. Similar to another book -- Despite All Odds -- that also failed precisely because it was a self promoting work trying to hard to make a case for the 'greatness' of Lubavitch.Others may need to rely on spin and cliches, but Lubavitch's message stands on its own merit. Growing up in a secular environment, I uased to think otherwise. But after reading some very fine books on Lubavitch, like Holy Days, Toward a Meaningful Life and others, I came to realize the profound spirituality and comprehensive relevance of the Lubavitch perspective on life.Yet, the good news is that with all the negative propoganda out there, I guess The Rebbe's Army is a form of positive propaganda, disseminating an upbeat and empowering message of a very vibrant and dynamic force in the world today.
