Title: Just a bunch of OP-ED pieces
Review: I loved Ambrose's Citizen Soldiers and Undaunted Courage.That said, this book I thought was what happens when an author has written a couple of major best sellers. They come up with an idea and the publisher says sure before even looking at it.This is not really a history book. It's Ambrose stating his opinion about a number of points in our history. In many cases there isn't even a real description of what happened - just his opinion.For example, in 24 small pages, he tries to "understand" MacArthur. For someone that complex, giant books have struggled to understand him.All in all, a waste of time (and paper).
