T. D. Allman

Timothy Damien Allman (October 16, 1944 – May 12, 2024) was an American author, historian, and journalist. His interviews with leading political figures such as Yasser Arafat, Helmut Kohl, Boris Yeltsin, and Manuel Antonio Noriega were published in the magazine Vanity Fair, where he was a foreign correspondent. Allman has also written two best-selling, prize-winning books on Florida, and what events there reveal about the nature of America. One of his books on foreign policy added the phrase "Rogue State" to foreign policy discourse. He also was the first to popularize the term "secret war" to describe clandestine U.S. involvements in foreign wars.

Allman’s book Finding Florida: The True History of the Sunshine State was long-listed for the National Book Award in 2013.
