About this product

Product Information

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, in a nationwide radio address, publicly blamed the Jews for selFishly 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, whose conquest of Europe and virulent anti-Semitic policies he appeared to accept without difFiculty. 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.

Sumptuous...An almost unbelievably rich book, and another likely major prizewinner. Kirkus Reviews, Starred Stunning...Roth's writing has never been so direct and accessible while retaining its stylistic precision and insights into human foibles.

    Brilliant writing (as usual) but....

    Although the story is a compelling read; he (P.R.) includes a table of historic time lines that is dry, laborious to read and demands much page turning to confirm specific memories of the story just read (I'm 76, raised in the Washington, D.C. area and, in my youth, heard many stories and speculative opinions from my parents, grandparents, god fathers, family friends,etc., about Lindbergh and his position on Hitler's Nazi Germany, his quest for the Presidency of the U.S. and his public and back-room polltick-ing.

  • What "if" and how the USA beLIEves that if you are successful at one thing in your life you'd make a great POTUS.

    I like the way Philip ROTH thinks and Writes. He paints complete pictures of neighbors, neighborhoods, and cities. He enables the reader to feel the emotions of the characters

  • Relevant in light of today's political situation

    Read it as library book. So many parallels to current political situation in US, I had to get a copy to keep on my book shelf.

  • The Plot Against America: It could happen here

    This is probably the most political novel I've ever ingested. A must-read for anyone who grew up Jewish. Also a must-read for anyone who mistrusts the current Bush Administration. The book begins as a very personal account of life of a young boy in a New Jersey city with ethnic neighborhoods. The book ends teaching us a very valuable political lesson about the abuse of power. I love reading books from the point of view of a child. They see the world so plainly and yet so clearly. This is a great story, and my favorite Roth yet.

  • Captivating

    Excellent story. Even more appropriate today than 2004
