the great historian steven ambrose said he wrote books to answer one question, and question was how did they do that? whether steve ambrose wrote about the transcontinental railroad or organizing d-day, the purpose of his books and what he wanted to find out was how was it done? go down together is my 14th book, and in my books i try to answer a question too, but it's a different one. what i always want to understand is why did they do that? that's where context comes in, and in the case of bonnie and clyde and the legend that's grown and been refurbished and reshaped and 75 years after they are dead, it's still going on. it seems to me there's two why's to be answered. the first is why did two kids from a terrible slum who were among the most up competent -- incompetent thieves who ever pulled a gun and said stick them up, who were not glamorous, why did they choose quite knowingly to embark on a life of crime that would bring them fleeting fame, but had to inevitably end with their violent deaths. they knew this was coming. they expected it, yet they were willing to have this happen.

the satirist ambrose bierce said this in 1911--l. eternal resting place of noah webster, dictionarymaker. that has to do with webster's crotchety personality. he alienated a lot of his friends. he had a friend from yale, joel barlow, a poet. webster had a religious conversion and after 30 years he told him he never wanted to talk to him again all of a sudden and two years later barlow gets the position in the madison administration and webster ask for favors as if nothing had happened. he could be very crotchety and also alienated historians. there were only six biographies of noah webster and a couple of historians said they wanted to write a biography but they just didn't like him. the challenge for biographer is to capture the complexity of a person and i think his achievement is remarkable. he was a very complicated person with a lot of different parts and that was very exciting for me as a biographer. joe the for talks about the daniel webster problem. daniel webster was a senator in the nineteenth century so daniel -- she calls

reputation start to dwindle as the speller goes out of goes out of print around 1900 what the satirist ambrose pearce said in 1911. howell, the eternal resting place of the late...had to deal with had to deal with this personality. webster alienated a lot of friends in his life. he had a friend from yale, joe borrow, a poet. webster had a conversion after 30 years he never wanted to talk to them again. all of a sudden. two years later i look it's a position in the madison administration of webster asked for a favor as if not then have happened. he could be very crotchety and he also alienated six biographies of webster and a couple of historian said they wanted to write a biography but they just didn't like them. and i guess the challenge for biographers to capture complexity of a person and i think his achievement is remarkable and he is a very complicated person with a lot of different parts and that is very exciting for me as a biographer. they talked about the tina webster collen. an eloquent senator in the middle 19th century. let's give you some key dates of your life. he was torn in wes

a couple of examples, since 1863 after ambrose burnside conducted in his failed offensive in the last weeks of 1862. he then tried a march around robert tv's army and it began to rain. the army got bogged down. burnside decided to boost their routes by issuing whiskey and the army was both drunk and bog down and it deteriorated into an absolute mess. became known to historians as the mud march. the reason is a new york times reporter sent back a story. burnside was helpless. they were bogged down and drunk. burnside wanted to have him arrested and shot. here we have a first confrontation between generals in the field and the reporters who are there to watch what is going on. there is that tension that continues to exist throughout the war. sherman in particular was very in tolerant of reporters in his ranks. grant much more tolerant. there was an occasion in did 1864 campaign when grant was sitting by his headquarters and his general came and said we need to arrest williams went and who has issued a report in the new york times that says this and grant said i read his story. it is rem

capture the voices of people like -- people like tom brokaw with "the grtest generation" and stephen ambrose with the book on d-day. there was this idea of people, like the people calling in today, and make sure you get your reminiscence recorded at a local library or something. it is like imagining we get that tape recordings of people at gettysburg -- we could have that tape recordings of people at gettysburg. people are dying off in that generation, in their 80s and 90s now, and at this point we are looking at will war ii -- world war ii veterans as survivors of that generation. host: that caller talked about his experience in the pacific theater. it seems in many ways that your it seems to get a block of the press. -- europe seems get the bulk of the price. guest: fdr's first objective was to win europe. only in recent years has it wore a scholarship caught up -- war scholarship caught up, not the least being that we are a western civilization, judeo- christian society. many americans had a background of dutch ancestry, or german or english. there was a priority to win the war in europe.
