Thomas Wardell Braden (February 22, 1917 - April 3, 2009) was an American journalist, best remembered as the author of Eight is Enough, which spawned a popular television program, and was co-host of the CNN show Crossfire.After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1940, Braden enlisted in the British Army, while the US was still neutral in World War II and saw combat in Africa. When the United States entered the War, he was recruited by the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the World War II predecessor to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and parachuted behind enemy lines into Nazi-occupied France. At the end of the War, with the encouragement of OSS Director William Wild Bill Donovan, who thought of Braden as a protege, he and his OSS paratrooper compatriot Stewart Alsop wrote a journalistic book about the OSS, just as it was being dissolved by President Truman, two years before the creation of the CIA.
