Also from the BBCi today:-

"Historian Stephen Ambrose, whose best-selling book Band of Brothers was turned into a successful TV mini-series, has died aged 66 after a struggle with lung cancer.

He wrote more than 30 books, including histories of 19th Century American explorers Lewis and Clark and the building of the US transcontinental railroad. But he was best known for his books about World War II, which helped revive interest in the conflict.

He was an adviser on Saving Private Ryan, the Oscar-winning film directed by Steven Spielberg, and on the mini-series Band of Brothers, which was based on his most popular book."

One of, if not THE best, WW2 drama / documentaries.
