== Writing ==
Forstchen is the author of more than forty books, including the award winning ''We Look Like Men of War'', a young adult novel about an African-American regiment that fought at the Battle of the Crater, which is based upon his doctoral dissertation, ''The 28th USCTs: Indiana's African-Americans go to War, 1863–1865''
Forstchen's writing efforts have, in recent years, shifted towards historical fiction, non fiction and technological issues. In 2002 he started the "Gettysburg" trilogy with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (with whom he had co-written the highly-unsuccessful alternate history science fiction novel ''1945'' in 1995). The trilogy consists of ''Gettysburg'', ''Grant Comes East'', and ''Never Call Retreat''. More recently, they have published two works on the events leading up to Pearl Harbor and immediately after that attack ''Pearl Harbor'', and ''Days of Infamy''. They wrote three novels on the American Revolution starting with the publication in 2009 of "To Try Men's Souls," a novel about Washington's crossing of the Delaware and Tom Paine's writing "The American Crisis," In 2010 they released a novel about Valley Forge and the Battle of Monmouth Court House. In 2011, Forstchen's doctoral dissertation on the 28th United States Colored Troops and their role at the Battle of the Crater, July 30, 1864, became the basis for a Civil War historical novel "To Set Men Free." Their last work in the series on the Revolution, "Yorktown" was published in 2012.
