I am doing some individual research on Ambrose and plagarism. Many of my History profs have stated that Band of Brothers is plagarized. Does anyone know if this is true? Or have any info or sources? I have been looking for hours but all I can find is info on Wild Blue being plagarized.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

My Googling turned up the same as you. Band of Brothers seems utterly untainted by plagiarism allegations. That doesn't surprise me that since the time it was published, and since several portions of text were quoted directly in the mini-series and many of the men involved were still alive and participated in the writing/production process - BoB should be fully vetted.

As a man with a BA in History, I find plagiarism to be bothersome, but not criminal. Fabrication is the worst offense a history writer can commit, followed by agenda driven selectivity (look for the elipses......).
