Description
In this Masterly Biography, Allen Dulles emerges from the shadows that have concealed him for more than thirty years as one of the most intriguing figures in recent American history. A spymaster, a worldly patrician prone to romantic adventure, head of the Central Intelligence Agency under Eisenhower and Kennedy, Dulles was the creator of an intelligence establishment that bears his controversial mark even today. Dulles was destined for a life of public service, starting as a young diplomat representing the United States at the funeral in 1916 of the Hapsburg Emperor Franz Josef in Vienna. Five decades later, as a sophisticated elder statesman, he played the delicate role of "double agent" on the Warren Commission - investigating the Kennedy assassination and preserving the secrets of the CIA at the same time. Along the way he managed to cloak himself in mystery and personal power. His life touched upon the great moments of the American twentieth century.
