A campaign that included writing a letter denouncing NF to every member of the New Press's board. The letter opened by saying that Dersh was a big first amendment guy, so he didn't want to supress the book - he just wanted to inform the board what scumbag this Finkelstein fellow was. Scared by this, the New Press delayed publication, so Norman submitted the book to UCal Press (whose history editor was formerly at Verso). Dersh tried to get Schwarzenegger to stop publication of the book, but Cal was not to be intimidated.
