description: "Timothy Damien Allman 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 also wrote 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."
