Product Description
Written by a professional U.S. Army soldier, this was the first and still the most complete life of Scott, tracing in more than fifty carefully researched chapters, his entire career and opening up many new perspectives on his role in the Army, especially during the Mexican War. More than this, the work provided the first comprehensive examination of ""the atrocious military policy"" of the United States government, which, the author argues, lasted all the way up to 1920, and why military genius, such as Scott's, was required to win victories and keep and army in existence despite presidental and congressional ignorance throughout the antebellum period. Includes all the original illustrations, maps, and sketches. Reprint edition. 2006: 837 pages. Softcover. (Scholar's Bookshelf)
