Yankel berel: there is a video called early years, you can find all your answers there from most reliable sources (i.e. talmidim of Rabbi Yosef Dov Solovatchik who was with the rebbe, documents, letters) instead of taking your info from who knows where.
By the way I never was told chabad is against Deutchs books. I actually own them and read parts, but many of his story’s are not from reliable sources (just look at the sources he brings)
But it’s very understandable why some chabad don’t like his books as he writes against chabad. (He wrote 30 yrs ago about the dangers chabad faces because we look at the rebbe larger than life, now we are 30 yrs later , and chabad didn’t get worse, on the contrary, many who opposed chabad then, now accept chabad, it’s like all those who were afraid chabad will go off the derech if the rebbe passes away, well it never happened!!)
