![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Parallel to the rise of Lindbergh's proto-fascist American presidency, with state visits by Nazi luminaries and a plan to relocate and ‘Americanize’ East Coast Jewish families, is young Philip's education into the realities of his own family life. An excursion into alternative history, it is in conception as daring as any of the best of such creations … The Plot Against America stands almost in a category by itself, a book driven by twin engines of historical curiosity: the anti-Semitic strain in American culture as exemplified by the isolationist views of Charles Lindbergh, and Jewish paranoia … Roth's novel turns disaster into an engaging story. Latest novel, intriguingly titled The Plot Against America, couldn't be more amazing. ![]()
