Signposts of Experience - World War Memoirs of Major General William J. Snow, USA-Retired, Chief of Field Artillery, 1918-1927 (Paperback)

The World War I Memoirs of Major General William J. Snow, the U. S. Army's first Chief of Field Artillery. This book has been out of of print since 1941 and includes material that was not published in the original edition. This book focuses on the problems and challenges General Snow faced in mobilizing the Field Artillery for overseas service in France. World War I was widely known as an artillery war. This book is an insiders account of how the U.S. Army's Field Artillery came close to the breaking point and how General Snow tackled these challenges. "'Signposts of Experience' is a brilliant recounting of how the U.S. Field Artillery became the King of Battle for the U.S. Army on the doorstep of the First World War. Major General William Snow's Memoirs as first Chief of Field Artillery, provide artillery and fire support leaders of today a framework of initiative, organization, disciplined training, and exacting standards that has been the backbone of Red Leg pride for over a century. As we reset the Army today and prepare for the future we must ensure that we get 'fires' right. Major General Snow's experiences are a must read for those who wear the crossed cannons of the artillery as well as those that are supported by its fires." -- Lt. Gen. David P. Valcourt, US Army (Ret.), Chief of Field Artillery (2003-2005)
