I had never read any book by Philip Roth until now. “The Plot Against America” was a great one to begin to catch up on this great author’s accomplishments.
The story is probably well-known to most. It is built on a perception that Charles Lindbergh was a sympathizer of Adolph Hilter and the Nazi government. The plot surrounds the election of Lindbergh as the successor to Roosevelt and the subsequent plight of American Jews.
What I found most enlightening is the impact of policies that penalize any group of people. It was specifically graphic to feel how stupid such biases are as they penetrate the walls of any defense that any ethnic group could materialize.
