When the renowned aviation hero and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh defeated Franklin Rooseveltby 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 pusting 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, virulent anti-Semitic policies he appeared to accept without difficulty.

What 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 Netwark family-and for a milion such families all over the country-during rhe menacing years of the Lindbergh presidency, when American citizens reason to expect the worst.
