He continued with a trilogy of novels about the affairs of state with Washington, DC, (1967), Burr, (1973), and 1876, (1976). From the 1970s historical fiction was his dominant theme. His own memoirs were published as Palimpsest, (1995), and was shaped around his boyhood love, Jimmie Trimble, who was killed at Iwo Jima.

Howard Austen became his loyal companion in the 1940s, and they began living together in a non-sexual relationship in 1950.
