Heilman's writing is dull. His credibility is also greatly diminished by his last book about the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Three interesting facts about these Hasidic Rebbes jump out at me:
1) Their supremely hypocritical way of saving themselves at Israel's expense when they denounce the Zionist enterprise both before and after
2) How often they fail to produce a son/heir or any children at all
3) the lust for power and the cynical maneuvering to get there
