Hidde -> Books by Ambrose (12/12/2007 5:14:21 PM)

As I understand it, there is different opinions about the WW2-books by Stephen E Ambrose. I have read three of them and think they are okey, but that is not why I am writing this.
I read his book about Crazy Horse and Custer several years ago and is at the moment reading Undaunted Courage about the Lewis-Clarke expedition.
These two books are outstanding.
Even if you don't like the other stuff he's done I urge anyone to have a look at those two.
The feeling of being there is great. It's not very much action in Undaunted Courage but I almost feel like one of the explorers going into unknown territory.
In almost every indian village they have visited so far there seems to be at least one french trapper living as one of the inhabitants with wife and children since long before. Fascinating.
