'The Plot Against America' by Philip Roth
Nov 1, 2005 — "I was incredibly moved by descriptions of deep patriotism and love of this country's ideals," writes NPR.org visitor Adrian of Roth's 2004 novel."I think The Plot Against America by Philip Roth was the best book I read this year. I was incredibly moved by descriptions of deep patriotism and love of this country's ideals. At the same time, the story of how easily [a country] can be propelled into racism... brought tears to my eyes."
