has anyone heard of or read books by Stephen Ambrose? he has a lot of books on wwII and other subjects. i found a book by him about globalism and the u.s., i read a little and was interested. i was wondering if anyone knows what his political stance is - is a leftist, right winger, or totally objective (which is of course is preferable) ?
