SynopsisWhen 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., When the renowned aviation hero and rabid isolationist Charles A.

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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

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 charactersBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
