I wanted to state my case for deletion of this subsection, written in [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|good faith]] previously. I was afraid it might sound a little disrespectful to refer to Eisenhower's mother as "a problem," and I wasn't sure if the fundraising issue would be considered a "problem" or a "scandal." The information was minimal enough to be included in the previous subsection, discussing the Foundation. Please let me know if you are of another opinion.

This book tells how Ike only loved two women ,Gladys Harding and Kay Summersby. It states that he married Mamie as a consolation prize and after the war went into a deep emotional depression, wondering around into misery and looked around for answers and never finding none. The entire book is based on the fact that Ike should have left Mamie and taken Kay as his wife for his happiness. It also states that his love for his wife had ended long before that war, and his only joy was his son John. To be honest with you, I find the book disheartening, and really question an author who had never met Eisenhower himself, or interviewed the family on this subject. I have since read the letters from Ike to his wife, and they sure don't sound like his didn't have any love for her. I think the author Richard Striner, is totally wrong, has he truly believes that Should have married Kay. I would say that Kay lacked no moral fiber, and this wasn't the first affair with a married man.
