Not sure if this was covered already, but Stephen Ambrose, a wonderful author and historian (author of Band of Brothers, Citizen Soldiers) died yesterday at the age of 60.

He had been battling lung cancer for many months and sadly, passed away. Ambrose brought the return of attention and admiration for some of the bravest men, in U.S. and world history. He was always very careful to present the story in its purest and most truthful form, avoiding propaganda.

Not many writers around like him.
