Fictions, Lies, and the Authority of Law
"[This book's] intelligence, clarity, and candor make it a fine example of what a work of legal theory ought to be. Although legal authority has been much studied, Smith sheds new light on it." —The Review of Politics "As Smith argues, a good legal fiction must be both plausible and beneficial, else we have little reason to play along with it. But what makes the fiction plausible?" —Public Discourse "As he has so often in his previous work, Steven Smith leads us to see familiar concepts in a new light and brings to bear a wide range of disciplines to conversations about law and legal theory. In this work, our understanding of authority gets the Smith treatment, and the result is an imaginative and critical contribution to the literature on legal authority." —Michael P. Moreland, director of the Eleanor H. McCullen Center for Law, Religion and Public Policy, Villanova University "In this provocative and illuminating work, one of our most insightful legal thinkers explores the nature of real authority. Steven Smith reveals that a loss of authority would be far from liberating. Instead he offers a hopeful account of how genuine authority exists and provides us with a firm place on which to stand." —Richard Garnett, co-editor of First Amendment Stories "It is hard to break new ground in thinking about the nature and practice of authority, but Smith's book, with its introduction of the idea of a fiction into the existing understanding, does just that. And the book's careful and creative use of multiple philosophical and social science disciplines is an added and unusual benefit." —Frederick Schauer, author of The Force of Law

The Disintegrating Conscience and the Decline of Modernity
"This book highlights the enormity, complexity, resilience, danger, disenchantment and importance that accompany matters of conscience, which in turn are inextricably connected to the relationship between law, religion and the state. It offers a novel and convincing defence of conscience as understood both in the context of the pre-modern West and by religious communities and traditions in the modern era." —International Journal for Religious Freedom "Appearing in the Notre Dame series 'Catholic Ideas for a Secular World,' the basic disposition of Smith's book will not surprise readers. He has long grappled with the challenge of faithfully adjusting Christian conviction to a political and legal regime once friendly but increasingly hostile. To those, like the present reviewer, sympathetic to this project, his books are trenchant and compelling. Those less sympathetic would also do well to read them as judicious but uncompromising challenges to the regnant academic pieties of the moment." —Review of Politics "Steven Smith is the greatest law and religion scholar of his generation. Every book he writes is illuminating, and this one is no exception. The Disintegrating Conscience and the Decline of Modernity is far and away the most insightful, balanced, and convincing account of the religion clauses to appear in the last five years at least." —Marc O. DeGirolami, author of The Tragedy of Religious Freedom

The Battles of Fort Watson and Fort Motte, 1781
“The Battles of Fort Watson and Fort Motte, 1781is a concise book that tells the story of less than a month of the American Revolution in South Carolina—from the middle of April to the second week in May 1781. Smith, an archaeologist and historian who has previously published important studies of Francis Marion, ably demonstrates how that month’s battles were of great importance to the outcome of the war. . . . Smith’s archaeological overlay brings a granular focus to his analysis of the two actions, and he offers fascinating archaeological insights into the most famous aspects of both—Hezekiah Maham’s siege tower used to overbear and take Fort Watson, and the “fire arrows” provided by Rebecca Motte and used to set her fortified home ablaze and precipitate its surrender. Such an iron arrow was recovered in Smith’s excavations, and an image of it is one of the many fine illustrations and maps the book contains. The Battles of Fort Watson and Fort Motteis a gem—clear, readable and finely detailed. It should be in the collection of anyone interested in the American Revolution in South Carolina and beyond.”—Post Courier
