ESSAY

The Story Behind 'The Plot Against America'

By PHILIP ROTH

hilip Roth's new novel, ''The Plot Against America,'' which will be published by Houghton Mifflin next month, imagines an America in which the 1940 presidential election resulted not in a third term for Franklin D. Roosevelt but in a victory for a Republican ticket headed by Charles A. Lindbergh. The Book Review asked Roth to write an essay about his new book and how he came to write it.
