About This Book
Philip Roth's bestselling alternate historyâthe chilling story of what happens to one family when America elects a charismatic, isolationist presidentâis soon to be an HBO limited series. 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. For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh's election is the first in a series of ruptures that threaten to destroy his small, safe corner of Americaâand with it, his mother, his father, and his older brother. "A terrific political novel... Sinister, vivid, dreamlike... creepily plausible... You turn the pages, astonished and frightened." â The New York Times Book Review
