Bob Drury’s non-fiction spans nearly four decades, beginning with Fatso: Football When Men Were Really Men (1987) and continuing through The Phantom (2026). The core of his catalog is military history written with narrative drive — books that bring the experiences of soldiers, pilots, and commanders to life with the detail and pacing of a journalist who knows how to tell a story.
His subjects range across American military history: the Revolutionary War (Valley Forge), the frontier wars (Red Cloud, Blood and Treasure), World War II (Halsey’s Typhoon, Lucky 666, The Last Hill), the Korean War (The Last Stand of Fox Company), and the Afghanistan conflict (Signature Wound). Alongside these, he has written about rescue teams (The Rescue Season), service dogs (A Dog’s Gift), and true crime (Incident at Howard Beach, Mafia Cop).
