Title : The Plot Against America - Philip Roth - book

Summary :

When the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh defeated President Roosevelt in the 1940 presidential election, fear gripped American Jews. Not only had Lindbergh, in his radio address to the nation, criticized Jews for pushing America into an unnecessary war with Nazi Germany, but upon becoming the thirty-third president of the United States, he promptly signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler. Then terror entered Jewish homes, including that of the Roth family. This context serves as the historical backdrop for The Plot Against America, a novel in which Philip Roth, who was seven years old at the time, recounts the experiences and feelings of his family—and millions of similar families across the country—during the dark years of Lindbergh's presidency, when American citizens who were also Jews had good reason to fear the worst. In doing so, he offers us a new masterpiece.
