Graff’s non-fiction spans nearly two decades and covers some of the most significant moments in American history. His early work focused on politics and government institutions, while his later books use oral history techniques to reconstruct events through eyewitness testimony. The Only Plane in the Sky and When the Sea Came Alive both build their narratives entirely from the words of people who were there.

His other books take a more traditional approach. Raven Rock investigates the secret bunkers and protocols designed to keep the U.S. government running during a nuclear war. Dawn of the Code War examines the rise of state-sponsored cyberattacks. UFO (2023) traces the history of American government investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena. His most recent work, World on the Brink (2024), returns to Cold War territory.
