Updegrove is the author of four books: ''Second Acts: Presidential Lives and Legacies After the White House''; ''Baptism by Fire: Eight Presidents Who Took Office During Times of Crisis''; ''Indomitable Will: LBJ in the Presidency'', and ''Destiny of Democracy: The Civil Rights Summit at the LBJ Presidential Library''. His fourth book, ''Destiny of Democracy: The Civil Rights Summit at the LBJ Presidential Library'', was released March 15, 2015. The book reflects on the civil rights movement and President Johnson’s legacy while capturing the LBJ Library's historic three-day Civil Rights Summit. It includes full text from all four presidential keynotes, a foreword by John Lewis, essays by Updegrove, and beautiful images from the summit. He is also reportedly working on a book on the relationship between the two Bush presidents.〔Baker, Peter, ("Bush 41 Reunion Looks to Burnish His Legacy" ), New York ''Times'', April 3, 2014.
