  ABOUT THE AUTHOR
S

  Mike Allen is the chief White House correspondent for POLITICO. He comes to us from Time magazine, where he was White House correspondent. Prior to that, Allen spent six years at The Washington Post, where he covered President George W. Bush’s first term, Capitol Hill, campaign finance, and the Bush, Gore, and Bradley campaigns of 2000. Before turning to national politics, he covered schools and local governments in rural counties outside Fredericksburg, Virginia, for The Free Lance-Star, then wrote about Doug Wilder, Oliver North, Chuck Robb, and the Bobbitts for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, where he nurtured police sources on overnight ride-alongs through housing projects. Allen also covered New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, the Connecticut statehouse, and the wacky rich of Greenwich for The New York Times. Before moving to the Times, he did stints in the Richmond and Alexandria bureaus of The Washington Post. Allen grew up in Orange County, California, and has a BA from Washington and Lee University, where he majored in politics and journalism.

  Evan Thomas is the author of seven books: The Wise Men (with Walter Isaacson), 1986; The Man to See, 1991; The Very Best Men, 1995; Robert Kennedy, 1999; John Paul Jones, 2003; Sea of Thunder, 2006; and The War Lovers, 2010. John Paul Jones and Sea of Thunder were New York Times bestsellers.

  He was an editor and writer at Time from 1977 to 1986. He went to Newsweek in 1986 as Washington bureau chief, a job he held until 1996. In 1991 he was made assistant managing editor of Newsweek and editor at large in 2007. He has written more than a hundred cover stories for Newsweek. He retired in October 2010. In 1999 he won a National Magazine Award for writing articles on the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He wrote Newsweek’s election special project in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. The 2008 project won a National Magazine Award.

  He is currently Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton on a seven-year appointment. He has taught journalism and writing at Harvard and Princeton.

  He is a regular panelist on the syndicated public affairs TV show Inside Washington.

  He is a graduate of Harvard and the University of Virginia Law School.
