Evan Welling Thomas III (born April 25, 1951) is an American journalist, historian, lawyer, and author. He is the author of 11 books, including two New York Times bestsellers. Thomas was born in Huntington, New York, and raised in nearby Cold Spring Harbor. He graduated from Phillips Academy and received his Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University and his Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law. After 1991, he was a reporter, writer, and editor at Newsweek for 24 years. Prior to that, he was at Time. Thomas began his reporting career at The Bergen Record in northeastern New Jersey. In 1992, Director of Central Intelligence Robert Gates granted Thomas access to view classified Central Intelligence Agency files. The fundamental authority for this policy is Executive Order 12356 (April 1982), as implemented in HR 10–24(c)4. Under these provisions, the CIA may grant individual researchers and former presidential appointees access to classified files, once the recipient of this access signs a secrecy agreement and agrees to allow the agency to review his manuscript to ensure that it contains no classified information.
