Michael Beschloss is an award-winning historian and the author of eight books, including the acclaimed New York Times best-sellers "The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941-1945" and "Reaching for Glory: Lyndon Johnson's Secret White House Tapes, 1964-1965".
Beschloss also wrote the introduction and annotation for the New York Times best-selling book "Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy", based on Jacqueline Kennedy's secret tapes of her private life with President Kennedy. The book and its controversial, never-before-heard conversations inspired a two-hour 20/20 special with ABC's Diane Sawyer.
