It's lefty Slate but is pretty much accurate here. Ambrose was a fraud and NARA has just reconfirmed it.

Quite a number of "renowned authors" have been attacked as plagiarists in recent years..

In reading their works and the charges of plagiarism leveled against them..., I have come to the conclusion that human "memory" is influenced greatly by the volumn of material read! In other words..., EVERYONE will speak or write certain material which they have previously read, in some form, fully believing that they have original authorship!

While I would like to state that everything I have spoken/written represents "original thought"..., I can assure you that it is not! This is not intentional "plagiarism" but, instead, is the inevitable result of limitless availability of information in the modern age!
