The vivid reimagining of General Eisenhower and Kay Summersby's infamous love affair during the second World War Description It is 1942, and war-battered London plays host to the imposing figure of General Ike Eisenhower on a vital mission for the US army. Kay Summersby, an ambulance driver who survived the horrors of the Blitz, is chosen to be his aide, a role that will change her life forever. Charmed by Ike's affable and disarming nature - so different from the stiffness of British military convention - she accompanies him during the North African campaign against Rommel and the war in Europe against Nazi Germany. Amid the carnage a secret affair unfolds between the General and his attractive aide. Rumours of Ike's infidelity reach Washington and worse yet, to his wife. In a time where scandal and war threaten to break them apart, can Kay hold on to the man she loves? Ike and Kay is a thrilling tale of wartime romance, brimming with love, duty, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of the most tumultuous period of the twentieth-century. AUTHOR: James MacManus is the managing director of the TLS. James's first screenplay about the life of George Hogg, The Children of the Silk Road, was made into a film starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He has since written historical novels Black Venus, Sleep in Peace Tonight and Midnight in Berlin (Duckworth).
