Dick Winters Memorial Dedication

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

I for one find the discussion interesting as I think the historical aspects of milsurps is why most of us are here. Ambrose did in my opinion shift from a pure historian to a to a relater of stories. I have read many of his books and enjoied every one ,but am aware of the discrepencies. I do not think he intentionally misrepresented anything perhaps just got caught up a bit in his newly found celbrity. He sort of died under a cloud of accusations of plagiarism which I find a bit sad as he did quite a bit to encourage attention to history including his contributions to the establishment of the WWII Museum in New Orleans LA The National WWII Museum | New Orleans.

I agree, which is why we provided a Book and Video Review Corner to discuss content such as this, which is way off topic to the original poster's topical matter of Dick Winters Memorial Dedication.
