The Plot Against America

The Plot Against America is a great book, written by Philip Roth. The story is about Roth himself and his family living in a time of fear, anger and concerning due to the winning of Lindbergh in the elections of 1940 against Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It is another version of the history that shows the anti-semitism in that the USA had fallen since President Lindbergh had come up to lead the nation into a neutral position during the II World War, however supporting the Third Reich. Roth is an eight and nine year old child who tells the story in that innocent but clever way of analysing the reality.

This is a very good book, about the awareness but concerned prespective by the jew community of a country threatened by anti-semitism and fascism.
