His works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). He was recognized for his knowledge of Nazi Germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents. By 1962 he was engaged in writing a series of 37 articles on the Allied bombing campaign, Und Deutschlands Städte starben nicht ("And Germany's Cities Did Not Die"), for the German journal Neue Illustrierte. These were the basis for his first book, The Destruction of Dresden (1963), in which he examined the Allied bombing of Dresden in February 1945. By the 1960s, a debate about the morality of the carpet bombing of German cities and civilian population had already begun, especially in the United Kingdom. There was consequently considerable interest in Irving's book, which was illustrated with graphic pictures, and it became a best-seller. In the first edition, Irving's estimates for deaths in Dresden were between 100,000 and 250,000. These figures became widely accepted in many standard reference works. In 1981, he published The War Between the Generals, in which Irving offered an account of the Allied High Command on the Western Front in 1944–45, detailing the heated conflicts Irving alleges occurred between the various generals of the various countries.

After the end of the war, Ismay remained in the army for another year, and helped to reorganize the Ministry of Defence. He then retired and served as Lord Mountbatten of Burma's Chief of Staff in India, helping to oversee its partition. In 1951, when Churchill again became Prime Minister, he appointed Ismay Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations.
