Dwight Eisenhower Letters Released by Family
Los Angeles Times received wartime letters from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Mamie Eisenhower released by the family. The correspondence counters rumors of an affair with aide Kay Summersby and questions the accuracy of Summersby’s 1976 book Past Forgetting. Summersby served as driver and secretary in Europe and North Africa during World War II and died soon after publication.
