James Jesus Angleton (1917-87) served in the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. He played a significant role in the founding of the CIA in 1947 and later became the deputy director for counterintelligence, in which position he maintained extensive connections with Israeli intelligence. He was forced into retirement in December 1974, following journalist Seymour Hersh’s revelations that his division had been involved in illegal domestic operations against anti-war activists.

Angleton became an associate editor of the American Security Council’s Journal of International Relations in 1977/78, when neo-Nazi Roger Pearson was editor. He died in 1987, just five days after CIA Director William Casey.
