His criticism of the Union high command made him unpopular with both peers and superiors. Yet his insight as an officer and an engineer enabled him to offer effective solutions to challenges faced by fellow generals. In this first comprehensive biography, Smith emerges as a field commander with deep concern for his men and a fearless critic of the failures of the Union generalship, who was recognized for a strategic perspective that helped save Federal armies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Nicholas Siciliano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476686130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476686134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Stephen Nicholas Siciliano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065861304575,"sku":"9781476686134","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9e4d780-7bf2-4e32-b7fd-0f1f5daf8eb6.jpg?v=1685403926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-baldy-smith-stephen-nicholas-siciliano-9781476686134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
