Steven Ambrose was a wonderful writer and historian.. He died yesteday, at age 66..And he lived every minute of those 66 years!! He brought to the attention of the public many of the stories of the WWII generation just before it was too late.. He worked with Spielberg, and Tom Hanks, as an advisor on "Saving Private Ryan", and "Band of Brothers", (based on his book).At the time of his death, he was still working on a book on Iwo Jima, and a possible film version, but what will become of that is yet to be seen. His book on Lewis and Clark "Undaunted Courage" was a bestseller, and created a whole new wave of enthusiasm for those great men..He loved to explore, and helped further preservation of many of our countrys most endangered historic places..I can go on, His books on "Ike" are staple reading..He will be sorely missed..RIP.
