Although these activists have<br />been dismissed as fanatics who fragmented the American Zionist movement,<br />Rafael Medoff reveals that the faction--which included an Academy Award-winning<br />screenwriter and several future members of the Israeli parliament--was<br />more influential than has been previously acknowledged.</p><p>These militants stirred Americas conscience by placing<br />controversial newspaper ads, lobbying conservative as well as liberal members<br />of Congress, and staging dramatic protest rallies. Through these tactics,<br />Medoff shows, they attracted a wave of support from an extraordinary cross-section<br />of leading Americans, including comedians Harpo Marx and Carl Reiner, actors<br />Vincent Price, Marlon Brando, and Jane Wyatt, musician Leonard Bernstein,<br />and rising young politicians Jacob Javits and Hubert Humphrey.
