From RecordedBooks.com:



Philip Roth is one of the most prestigious names in American literature,

having won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Faulkner

Award, the National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize in fiction. For

the first time ever, Roth delves into the realm of alternate history

with the astounding novel that builds from the premise: What if Charles

A. Lindbergh, a noted anti-semite, defeated FDR in the 1940 presidential

election? Listeners hungry for thought-provoking fiction with

contemporary relevance will find a veritable feast.

From Wiki:



The Plot Against America is an alternate history in which Franklin

Delano Roosevelt is defeated in the presidential election of 1940 by

Charles Lindbergh.



The novel follows the fortunes of the Roth family during the Lindbergh

presidency, as antisemitism becomes more accepted in American life and

Jewish-American families like the Roths are persecuted on various

levels. The narrator and central character in the novel is the young

Philip, and the care with which his confusion and terror are rendered

makes the novel as much about the mysteries of growing up as about

American politics. Roth based his novel on the isolationist ideas

espoused by Lindbergh in real life as a spokesman for the America First

Committee and his own experiences growing up in Newark, New Jersey. The

novel depicts the Weequahic section of Newark which includes Weequahic

High School from which Roth graduated.
