Finished Sa 11/7/15
I first read and finished this novel on We 11/22/10. I loved it then, and loved it more this time through.
Charles Lindbergh is working with the Nazis because his son was kidnapped and held by the Nazis. However, he does agree with some of the National Socialist policy, but is not a hardliner about the Final Solution.
In this novel, after Walter Winchell is killed Lindbergh flies to Louisville, gives a speech, and returns to Washington, but his plane is lost and he's never seen again. Wheeler, the Vice President, takes control and spins a tale about a Jewish conspiracy, and he arrests all of the remaining Jewish leaders in the US. Philip's aunt hides in his house.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Charles's wife, finally rests control of the government and the US goes to war with Germany. Philip's father and Sandy travel to Kentucky to get Sheldon. His mother was killed by marauding mobs and Sheldon is left alone. Philip's father is still suffering from his brutal fight with Alvin, Philip's cousin.
The epilogue tells the true story of the historical people in the novel.
