by Philip Roth - Fiction

Philip Roth imagines an alternate version of American history in which Charles Lindbergh is elected President. The heroic aviator and rabid isolationist negotiates a cordial "understanding" with Adolf Hitler, while the government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism. For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh's election heralds a series of ruptures that threaten to destroy his small, safe corner of America.
