'''Thomas Dewey''' (1902–1971) was a prominent state and [[federal]] prosecutor, the Governor of [[New York]] (1943–55), and a two-time [[Republican]] nominee for President, losing in 1944 to [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] and losing in a surprise upset in 1948 to [[Harry S Truman]].
He was [[liberal]] northeast [[Republican]] who lacked appeal in the South and West. His political success in [[New York]] is due to his reputation in prosecuting organized crime.
He wrote two books, the ''Journey to the Far Pacific'' (1952) after he visited East Asia, and ''Thomas E. Dewey on the Two Party System'' (1966).
