His newest book The Coming Economic Collapse: How You Can Thrive When Oil Costs $200 a Barrel (Warner Books, 2006), co-written with Glen Strathy, was released in February 2006.

His best-selling book The Oil Factor: Protect Yourself - and Profit - from the Coming Energy Crisis (Warner Books, 2004) accurately predicted the surge in oil prices and was rated among the top investment books of the year by Stock Trader’s Almanac 2005. It also forecasts a longer-term energy squeeze, further price increases, and lays out a detailed investment plan for coping with this new world. His previous book, Defying the Market: Profiting in the Turbulent Post-Technology Market Boom (McGraw-Hill; 1999) predicted the collapse of technology stocks and the growing importance of oil, real estate, and other hard assets in a portfolio strategy. The book was selected by the Library Journal as one of the "Best Business Books of 1999." Dr. Leeb co-authored both books with his wife, Donna Leeb.
