"What might life have been like for the Jews of the United States had the aviation hero and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh, left, defeated Franklin D. Roosevelt for the presidency in 1940 That is the question raised and answered by the Pulitzer Prize-winner Philip Roth in the novel whose acquisition was announced yesterday by Houghton Mifflin. In "The Plot Against America," to be published in October, Mr. Roth imagines life for his family in Newark and for a million other families around the country at a time when American Jews had reason to fear the worst. His Lindbergh blames Jews in a radio address for selfishly pushing America toward a pointless war with Nazi Germany and, upon taking office as the 33rd president, negotiates a cordial "understanding" with Hitler."
