In his book “The Art of Winning,” which is scheduled to be released on May 6, Belichick does not mention Kraft once. Not in the acknowledgements section nor in any of the 15 chapters. Asked about why Kraft was excluded, despite their 24 years working together in New England, Belichick didn’t elaborate.

Bill Belichick's first book comes out soon. He's doing a book tour. Based on the most recent broadcast interview, it seems to be going roughly as well as the tour for Kramer’s coffee-table book about coffee tables.
