It’s interesting how one can form attachments based on a book read or topic researched.
I read a newspaper article today about the wife of a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne. While I don’t believe he was in Easy Company (the company Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose focuses on), I still felt a rush reading the article, as though I were reading about someone I knew peripherally.
I guess that just says how good a writer Ambrose is.
