Synopsis "The Plot Against America"

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The chilling bestselling alternate history novel of what happens to one family when America elects a charismatic, isolationist president whose government embraces a folksy anti-Semitism--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral. "A terrific political novel.... Sinister, vivid, dreamlike...You turn the pages, astonished and frightened." --The New York Times Book Review In an extraordinary feat of narrative invention, Philip Roth imagines an alternate history where Franklin D. Roosevelt loses the 1940 presidential election to heroic aviator and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh. Shortly thereafter, Lindbergh negotiates a cordial "understanding" with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism.
