Timothy B. Smith è uno storico e autore specializzato in storia militare, in particolare nella Guerra Civile Americana. Ex ranger del National Park Service presso lo Shiloh National Military Park, porta una conoscenza diretta dei campi di battaglia storici al suo lavoro accademico. Smith ha scritto diversi libri acclamati, tra cui "Shiloh: Conquer or Perish" e "The Union Assaults at Vicksburg", che offrono analisi dettagliate di campagne decisive della Guerra Civile. Il suo approccio basato sulla ricerca e il suo stile narrativo accessibile lo hanno reso una voce rispettata nella storiografia sulla Guerra Civile.
Attualmente professore di storia all'Università del Tennessee a Martin, Smith combina il rigore accademico con un profondo impegno per la preservazione dei paesaggi dei campi di battaglia. Le sue opere esplorano frequentemente leadership, strategia e il costo umano della guerra, attingendo da ricerche d'archivio approfondite. Oltre ai suoi libri autonomi, ha contribuito a progetti collaborativi e riviste accademiche, consolidando ulteriormente la sua reputazione come eminente studioso della Guerra Civile. Smith continua a fare ricerca, scrivere e insegnare, colmando il divario tra la storia accademica e la comprensione pubblica.
