Lindbergh defeated Franklin Roosevelt by 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 pushing 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, whose conquest of Europe and whose 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 Newark family-and for a million such families all over the country-during the menacing years of the Lindbergh presidency, when American citizens who happened to be Jews had every reason to expect the worst. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Lindbergh, Charles A. |q(Charles Augustus), |d1902-1974 |vFiction. 650 0 Presidents |zUnited States |vFiction. 650 0 Presidents |xElection |vFiction. 650 0 Jews |zUnited States |vFiction. 650 0 Jewish families |vFiction. 651 0 Newark (N.J.) |vFiction. 650 0 Antisemitism |vFiction. 655 7 Fiction. |2lcgft 856 42 |3Sample text |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/hm051/2004047490.html 856 42 |3Publisher description |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/hm051/2004047490.html 856 42 |3Table of contents |uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/hm051/2004047490.html 994 C0 |bLHM 852 0 |bstacks |hPS3568.O855 |iP58 2004
