"Hasidism, a movement many believed had passed its golden age, has had an extraordinary revival since its near decimation in the Holocaust and Soviet communism. These Hasidim, now settled primarily in North America and Israel have reversed the losses they suffered and rebuilt their communities. The once unimaginable is today routine. Hasidism is alive and growing. How? "Who Will Lead Us?" is the story of five contemporary Hasidic dynasties and how they have handled the delicate issue of leadership and succession. It explores two groups with too few successors, two with too many successors, and one that claims there is no need for a successor, as they claim their leader never died"--Provided by publisher.

Samuel Heilman is an eminent sociologist and ethnographer. However, his chapter on Chabad Lubavitch is sorely deficient. It is as though he had few primary sources and informants.
This contrasts with the research for his earlier book "Defenders of the Faith" when he practically lived among an Ultra-Orthodox community for an extended time.
I am intimate with Chabad and could have shown him primary sources from the shelves in my home library as well as served as a reliable informant.
This deficiency makes me wonder how accurate the chapters on four other Hasidic dynasties are. Heilman knows how to do rigorous research. Has he?
