The Plot Against America (2005)
Philip Roth
In-fiction date: 11/5/1940
On November 5, 1940, aviation hero Charles Lindbergh defeats Franklin Roosevelt in Philip Roth's alternate history, winning the presidency on a platform of keeping America out of Europe's war and signing a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. For the Roth family of Newark — like millions of American Jews — election night is the moment their country becomes an unfamiliar and frightening place.
