Roth, who died in 2018, wrote the critically acclaimed book from his viewpoint as a child in the early 1940s, but in an alternate history in which the anti-Semitic aviator Charles Lindbergh was elected to the presidency, denying Franklin D. Roosevelt a third term.
Rather than entering the Second World War, Lindbergh strikes up an alliance with Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, and Jews living in the US are subjected to an organized campaign of discrimination and displacement.
