16:48 The "Wild Blue" book contained a series of plagiarisms from Thomas Childers' book "Wings of Morning." After his death, Ambrose was shown in other texts to have been a serial plagiarist in this same vein. The big bucks for popular books can lead even a trained historian into cognitive dissonance.
Fascinating
I enjoyed the Ambrose lectures featured on New Orleans PBS back in the 1990's.
Such an amazing historian and writer.
