A Personal Note From Jeff

I am distressed to tell you that within the next year or so, most of my the HARDCOVER versions of my books will be going out of print.  I still have a good supply of most every title- with only two exceptions.  "THE FINAL STORM" and "GODS AND GENERALS" are no longer available in hardback at all.  I'm really not happy about this, and I've been pushing the publisher relentlessly, but it's just the way they do things.  For now, I have a good supply of everything else.  With Paperbacks, there is no issue at all.  Plenty available.

My latest book on the Cuban Missile Crisis, The Shadow of War has been received really well, and I've heard from an enormous number of people who actually lived through those events (as I did).

The book's cover is terrific- my publisher did a really nice job. If you look at the bottom of this page, you'll see the cover art.  I'm proud to note that it's my 20th book.  I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I'm proud of it anyway.

I just completed a new manuscript for a novel based on Abraham Lincoln, told from Lincoln's own point of view.  The inspiration for this came from the eminent Lincoln scholar, and my friend, Harold Holzer, who has himself written over 50 books on Lincoln- but none like what he suggested I should do.  No estimated release date yet - it's too soon.  Right now, my editor has it.
