Why do you contribute so much to Stephen Ambrose? Is it this
author that you refer to. And if so why him? Could you please make a serious attempt to explain this to me since I do not understand why so many posts refer to Stephen Ambrose.

Orm that link is for Stephen E Ambrose. Stephen Ambrose, the prolific writer on all matters (and BPB fiend) is someone entirely different.
OH my. Warspite1, how can you make such an elementary mistake. Stephen Ambrose is the pen name for Stephen E Ambrose. Ambrose did not want the world to realize he was a compulsive author. According to the 2012 book,
JUST WHO IS STEPHEN AMBROSE?, by Stephen E Ambrose, Ambrose is
"...my alter ego. For 50 years I was worried that if the world knew I was Stephen Ambrose and saw how many books I wrote, then my sales might fall. But my friend David McCullough convinced me recently that most people were figuring out Stephen Ambrose is me."

NO! Stephen E Ambrose I'm sure has a pen name but its not Stephen Ambrose! Stephen Ambrose is a pen name in itself. "Ambrose" and his whole family had their identities changed by the witness protection program after helping to put five of America's biggest hoodlums in jail. The bounty on his, and his family's head, was huge as can be imagined and his whole family had to go into hiding. They had their names changed, identity and everything. Even now, long after Ambroses' death, his family are still top targets for execution. The disguise needed to be really good to foil any attempts to get to him.
Stephen Ambrose is, in real life, Ste
ven Ambrose and......
