Drawing on a wealth of untapped primary sources, Smith provides new insight into Ike’s apprenticeship under Douglas MacArthur in Washington and the Philippines, World War II an examination of Ike’s finances, details his wartime affair with Kay Summersby, and reveals the inside story of the 1952 Republican convention that catapulted him to the White House.
