In case you hadn't heard, Ambrose himself has been found to have committed extensive plagiarism in more recent work. I didn't know that, and it's disappointing if true. I thought D-Day was great reading too, and if he lifted parts of that I hope he at least had reliable sources to plagarize from.

The recent allegations concerning Ambrose relate to his book on the bomber pilots, "The Wild Blue." Ambrose has apologized for taking phrases from others' work. It is too bad, because generally Ambrose has written on themes that are very positive for our country. I just think he got into a money-driven cut-and-paste job to rush out books and make money.
