Dams have harmed our wildlife and made rivers less useful for recreation.
From Stephen Ambrose
In 1945, there were more people killed, more buildings destroyed, more high explosives set off, more fires burning than before or since.
World War II, the atomic bomb, the Cold War, made it hard for Americans to continue their optimism.
My first book was the book that changed my life.
The Holocaust was the most evil crime ever committed.
I've always tried to be fair to my subjects. That's easy when they are as likable and admirable as Lewis and Clark, or Eisenhower.
Eisenhower had the clearest blue eyes. He would fix them on you. In my every interview with him, he would lock his eyes on to mine and keep them there.
My favorite book is the last one printed, which is always better than those that were published earlier.
The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future.
Writing is not the easiest way to make a living. Your work long hours, usually all by yourself. It is not a way to make money.
