He is the author of nine books, the most recent of which, Presidents of War, was published by Crown/Penguin Random House in 2018.
Bill Gates included Presidents of War in his summer 2019 "five best books" list, saying, "Beschloss’s broad scope lets you draw important cross-cutting lessons about presidential leadership."
