The Plot Against America

When The Renowned Aviation Hero And Rabid Isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh Defeated Franklin Roosevelt By A Landslide In The 1940 Presidential Election, Fear Invaded Every Jewish Household In America. Not Only Had Lindbergh Publicly Blamed The Jews For Pushing America Toward A Pointless War With Nazi Germany, But Upon Taking Office As The Thirty-Third President Of The United States, He Negotiated A Cordial 'Understanding' With Adolf Hitler. What Then Followed In America Is The Historical Setting For This Startling New Book By Pulitzer Prize-Winner Philip Roth, Who Recounts What It Was Like For His Newark Family - And For A Million Such Families All Over The Country - During The Menacing Years Of The Lindbergh Presidency, When American Citizens Who Happened To Be Jews Had Every Reason To Expect The Worst.
