The Blood Wars trilogy from Planescape and the Hellbound box set from Planescape, which has great details about the Blood War.
The trilogy is:
Blood Hostages
Abyssal Warriors
Planar Powers |

What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

is this world related to forgotten realms ( i know both are d&d) but there are several instances in some of the forgotten realms novels that reference the blood wars between devils and demons. Most recently the War of the Spider Queen make several references to this war. |

Yes. Planescape was the cosmology of 2e that was expanded on from the cosmology of 1e. However, even in FR's current cosmology there are tons of Planescape references that are still appearing in FR and normal D&D lore.
Hellgate Keep module from 2e details the events of that dungeon. As does Cloak & Dagger, Monsters of Faerun, Lords of Darkness, Rich's Last Mythal trilogy because all of them involve the fey'ri. A succubus elven descended tiefling and or half-fiend. |

You may also want to pick up copies of the 2e PS sources -- Faces of Evil and Hellbound -- for more in-depth accounts of the relationships between baatezu and tanar'ri and the Blood War itself.
