THE NOTORIOUS BEN HECHT: Iconoclastic Writer and Militant Zionist

A biography of a great 20th century writer that treats his activism during the 1940s as the central drama of his life. It details the story of how Hecht earned admiration as a humanitarian and vilification as an extremist at this pivotal moment in history, about the origins of his beliefs in his varied experiences in American media--and the consequences that followed. 24 pages of photos.
