Historical
It is a time of turmoil, with the nation mired in an
unpopular war in Korea and with Senator Joseph McCarthy
stirring up fear of a lurking Communist "menace." Racial
discrimination is rampant. A woman's place is in the home.
And when a shocking act of God eliminates the Democratic
presidential nominee, the party throws its support to an
unlikely standard bearer: former First Lady and goodwill
ambassador to the world Eleanor Roosevelt.
Captivating and fast-paced, Eleanor vs. Ike pits the
unforgettable Eleanor against the enormously popular war
hero Gen. Dwight David ("Ike") Eisenhower. But while the
opponents promise "an honest campaign," their strategists
mire the race in scandal and bitter innuendo. Suddenly
Eleanor finds herself a target of powerful insiders who mean
to destroy her good name—and Ku Klux Klan assassins
dedicated to her death—as she gets caught up in a mad whirl
of appearances and political maneuvering . . . and a chance
encounter with a precocious five-year-old named Hillary
Rodham.
