There are many rules of good writing, but the best way to find them is to be a good reader.
Stephen Ambrose
The great wars of the 20th Century made it into the worst Century ever.
Stephen Ambrose
Within Easy Company they had made the best friends they had ever had, or would ever have. They were prepared to die for each other more important, they were prepared to kill for each other.
Stephen Ambrose

Stephen Ambrose

Stephen Ambrose

Stephen Ambrose
Eisenhower is my choice as the American of the 20th Century. Of all the men I've studied and written about, he is the brightest and the best.
Stephen Ambrose
The American Constitution is the greatest governing document, and at some 7,000 words, just about the shortest.
Stephen Ambrose
Nixon regarded himself as having been cheated by life. He never got my vote.
Stephen Ambrose
At the core, the American citizen soldiers knew the difference between right and wrong, and they didn't want to live in a world in which wrong prevailed. So they fought, and won, and we all of us, living and yet to be born, must be forever profoundly grateful.
Stephen Ambrose
Washington, not Jefferson, freed his slaves upon his death.
Stephen Ambrose
The war in Vietnam I thought a dreadful mistake.
Stephen Ambrose
My first book was the book that changed my life.
Stephen Ambrose
World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism.
