Thomas Bernard Ross was born on September 2, 1929, in New York, United States. He was the son of Henry M. and Evelyn (Timothy) Ross.
Thomas received his bachelor's degree in 1951 at Yale University. Besides, he attended graduate courses at Harvard University in 1964.
Thomas Bernard Ross served in the United States Navy during the Korean War, after which he became a reporter for the International News Service from 1955 to 1958. In 1958 he briefly worked as a reporter for United Press International before joining the Chicago Sun-Times staff, where he was employed for the next twenty years until 1977.
It was in 1960, while he was a reporter for the Sun-Times in Washington, D.C., that an international incident occurred in which the Soviet Union captured an American pilot who had been spying on its territory. Ross, along with coauthor David Wise, investigated the incident and published their findings in the bestselling book "The U-2 Affair" (1962). He and Wise went on to write two more bestsellers on government intelligence: "The Invisible Government" (1964) and "The Espionage Establishment" (1967).
Because of his knowledge of the subject, Ross was asked to serve as assistant secretary of defense during the Jimmy Carter administration. He worked for the United States government from 1977 to 1981, then joined the Celanese Corporation as communications director from 1981 to 1982. His later career also included posts as senior vice president of Radio Corporation of America Corporation from 1982 to 1986, NBC News from 1986 to 1990, and the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton from 1990 to 1994, and as vice president of government relations for Loral Space and Communications, where he was employed at the time of his death.
Thomas Ross married Gunilla Ekstrand on November 2, 1963. They had three children: Maria, Anne, and Kristina.
