FDR pretty much loathed Jews. He made it look like he was buying the absurd argue that Ast. Sec State Breckenridge Long (a real Jew Hater) peddled that the US would be flooded with ‘Gestapo Agents’ disguised as refugees. Most if the Jews FDR had run into in NYC politics were from German Jewish families. For reasons never much explained FDR detested Germans from his youth. (One individual suggested that FDR , who was something of a prissy prick as an only child, and that he tried his usual St Grottlesex snob act on a couple of German Army officer cadets and they beat the crap out of him even though he was a pretty big fellow.)

Roth is a true smuck. Lindbergh was a jackass in some ways but he also put his money where his mouth was and was a aircraft ‘representative’ in the Pacific and shot down at least on Zero and maybe two more. Was has Roth ever done ? Also, in this miserable screed, he has the VP Burton K. Wheeler,as a Nazi stooge and anti-semite. Wheeler was a real man of principles and he thought the Constitution meant what it said. In 1917 , when he was US Attorney for Montana he refused to enforce the clearly unconstitutional sections of Wilson's sedition act. He was always a fearless defender of Constitutional liberties and civil rights. He hated dictatorships of all stripes and was head of America First because he believed Roosevelt was lying the US into war. Again, one Wheeler is equal to an auditorium full of Roth lovers.

Roth is a true smuck.

I agree. I think all his novels were self-indulgent navel-gazing garbage. Schmuck...
