Excerpt: Stephen Edward Ambrose (January 10, 1936 October 13, 2002) was an American historian and biographer of U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. He was a long time professor of history at the University of New Orleans and the author of many best selling volumes of American popular history. Beginning late in his life and continuing after his death, however, many reports and evidence have continued to surface documenting long time patterns of plagiarism, falsification, and inaccuracies in many of his published writings and other work. In response to one of the early reports, Ambrose said he was not "out there stealing other people's writings." Ambrose was born in Lovington, Illinois to Rosepha Trippe Ambrose and Stephen Hedges Ambrose. His father was a physician who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Ambrose was raised in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where he graduated from Whitewater High School. His family also owned a farm in Lovington, Illinois and vacation property in Marinette County, Wisconsin. He attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he was a member of Chi Psi Fraternity. According to his co-author and friend Douglas Brinkley, Ambrose was a University of Wisconsin football player who played in the Rose Bowl. Ambrose originally wanted to major in pre-medicine, but changed his major to history after hearing the first lecture in a U.S. history class entitled "Representative Americans" in his sophomore year. The course was taught by William B. Hesseltine, whom Ambrose credits with fundamentally shaping his writing and igniting his interest in history. While at Wisconsin, Ambrose was a member of the Navy and Army R.O.T.C.. He graduated with a B.A. in 1957. He also married his first wi... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=65984 ... Read more

Amazon.com Review
Published to mark the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, Stephen E. Ambrose's D-Day: June 6, 1944 relies on over 1,400 interviews with veterans, as well as prodigious research in military archives on both sides of the Atlantic. He provides a comprehensive history of the invasion that also eloquently testifies as to the ways that common soldiers performed extraordinary feats. He further combines history and journalism to describe how American GIs battled their way to the Rhineland in Citizen Soldiers, which contains memorable accounts of the Battle of the Bulge and other events as seen through the weary eyes of the men who fought in the foxholes. And in Band of Brothers, Ambrose tells the horrifying, hallucinatory saga of Easy Company, whose 147 members he calls the nonpareil combat paratroopers on earth, circa 1941-45. The Easy Company survivors describe the hell and confusion of any war, but despite the gratuitous horrors it relates, Band of Brothers illustrates what one of Ambrose's sources calls "the secret attractions of war ... the delight in comradeship, the delight in destruction ... war as spectacle." ...

Dr. Ambrose in His Element
I came to order "Best of" as a Christmas present after ordering the set for myself, only to find it out of stock.So since I'm here, I'll throw my nickel in.

Let me say from the start that I may be somewhat biased since I was a student of Dr. Ambrose at the University of New Orleans.He was far and away the most captivating instructor I had during my time there as a politcal science/history major (all 5 1/2 years- hey, I worked full time).Nevertheless, I will try to be objective.

Along with his sudden rise in the national spotlight has also come a sudden rise in publications from Dr. Ambrose.I have been somewhat disappointed in a couple of them, but these are not to be included in that category. To date, I've read about 2/3 of Dr. Ambrose's books.These three books, along with his definitive biography on Dwight Eisenhower, are without question among his very best.

The drama that Dr. Ambrose provided in the classroom is illustrated in these books.Just as his passion for World War II led him to be the driving force behind the National D-Day Museum here in New Orleans, his passion for this era in world history also shines through in these books.He is simply in his element when it comes to topics surrounding World War II.

The fact that this trio is sold out is testimony to the quality of his writing and authority as a historian.His combination of presenting the facts while keeping the reader captivated through his unique narration is what makes Dr. Ambrose a delight to read.

Trust me on this one- get your hands on this when (if) it becomes available.

Great
This book was really, reallyinteresting. I enjoyed it. Stephen Ambrose is an intriguing fellow. His life story is unbelievable. I couldn't believe his life story. He's been through alot. He has alot of feelings and he mademe feel alot of them. Stephen Ambrose kicks! ... Read more

Chapters: Nothing Like It in the World, Citizen Soldiers, Undaunted Courage, the Wild Blue. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Nothing Like It In the World was written by Stephen Ambrose, a writer of historical literature books, and was a #1 New York Times Bestseller about the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. The book is about the period of the railroad from 1863 to 1869. The railroad spanned from Omaha, Nebraska to Sacramento, California. The book is very detailed and explains all the processes involved in building a railroad that is more than 1,700 miles long and spanning through 6 of the current United States of America. The book has a very good account of the monetary point of view - from how it was spent and earned and the difficulties in not having enough money (the railroads were almost always in debt), to the multiple plots to gain more money through stocks and bonds by the different people of the railroad, as you could expect with a multi-billion dollar project. The railroads were, surprisingly enough paid by the government with bonds because of the importance of the railroad, most likely without this financial help from the government the whole railroad would have been a failure. Both of the railroads were paid in bonds by the miles of track they laid in a certain period of time. In fact there was a time when the CP flooded the market with its stocks to make extra and instant money off of them to buy more ties and other products like nails and snow sheds. The CP had a hard time getting money for a while because all the mountains they had to blast through were slowing them down a lot (there were more than 30 mountains they had to blast through to get to the meeting point).
