Gordon Thomas (21 February 1933 – 3 March 2017) was a British investigative journalist and author, notably on topics of secret intelligence.

[1][2] Thomas was the author of 53 books published worldwide[3] including The Pope's Jews,[4] Secret Wars,[5] and Gideon's Spies,[6] with sales exceeding 45 million copies.

[7] His first book, completed at the age of seventeen, is the story of a British spy in Russia during the Second World War, titled Descent Into Danger.

By keeping to his place as a tremendous storyteller without a preacher's pretensions, he has put his book amongst the important chronicles of the state of Israel.

"[12] His 1974 book Voyage of the Damned[13] was adapted for the 1976 film starring Faye Dunaway which won five Academy Award nominations.

[14] His last book was Shadow Warriors: Daring Missions of World War II by Women of the OSS and SOE (written with Greg Lewis]).
