Download Spytime: The Undoing of James Jesus Angleton AudioBook Free
James Jesus Angleton was an enigma, a secretive man whose power was at its peak through the height of the Cold War. Founder of U.S. counter-intelligence, hunter of moles and foes of America, his name has become synonymous with skulduggery and subterfuge. Angleton pursued his enemies, real and imagined, with a very good, calculating intelligence. Eventually convinced that there is a turncoat within the highest reaches of the U.S. government, Angleton turned all of his considerable skills to finding and exposing him. The result was a near-victory for U.S. Intelligence-and total defeat for himself. An excellent re-creation of a global that included Soviet defectors, the infamous traitors Burgess, MacLean, and Philby, and American presidents from Truman to Carter, Spytime traces the making-and unmaking-of a man with out a peer and, by the end, a man with out a country to serve.
