The Plot Against America -- Philip Roth

<b>Philip Roth's bestselling alternate history novel--the chilling story of what happens to one family when America elects a charismatic, isolationist president--is soon to be an HBO limited series.</b> <p/>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. <p/>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 America-and with it, his mother, his father, and his older brother.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Philip Roth<br><b>Publisher:</b> Vintage<br><b>Published:</b> 09/27/2005<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.69lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.22h x 6.36w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781400079490<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 8.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 24<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>84291 / Plot Against America<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Ingram Advance</i> 09/01/2005 pg. 31<br><i>New York Times</i> 10/02/2005 pg. 32<br><i>Kliatt</i> 11/01/2005 pg. 17<br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> 03/16/2014 pg. 15<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p>In 1997 Philip Roth won the P
