5. Plagiarized scandal
Late in Stephen Ambrose’s life, there had been evidence of plagiarism in many
of his published writings and other work. He was first accused in 2002, of
plagiarizing several passages in his book, The Wild Blue. Fred Barnes author of
The Weekly Standards conflicted and defend the Wings of Morning by Historian
Thomas Childers. It Wasn’t until two days that Stephen wrote an apology on
website New york Times of his quotation errors in his book. This was a lead to
valuable research of a disappointing discovery about him as a Plagiarized book
thief. At the being of the research seven of his books were copied from twelve
authors. As media extended more research and had found even more plagiarized
acts and unexplained answers from Stephen Ambrose's Citizen Soldiers
Passages in

(Simon & Schuster, 1997) and their counterparts
in an earlier work, Beyond the Beachhead
(Stackpole Books, 1989), by Joseph Balkoski.
Ambrose, pg. 40:
"Suddenly, he gave a whoop and raced forward,
the squad following, yelling like wild men. As
they tossed grenades into the windows, Cota and
another man kicked in the front door, tossed a
couple of grenades inside, waited for the
explosions, then dashed into the house. The
surviving Germans inside were streaming out the
back door, running for their lives."
Balkoski, pg. 155:
"Suddenly, the general and his group raced
forward, screaming like wild men, hurling
grenades in the windows. Cota and another man
kicked in the front door, tossed a few more
grenades inside, waited for the explosions, and
then disappeared into the house. As the rest of
Cota's team followed him inside, the Germans
streamed out the back and ran for their lives."

media and the public to know because in
our researches it was rare to find
evidence about his case but not knowing
his consequences.
