Angleton's Last Stand

The final resting spot of one of America's most controversial spies.

A reader in Boise, Idaho passed along this photo of the final resting spot of CIA spymaster James Angleton, and his wife Cicely.

Angleton, born in Boise in 1917, controlled the CIA’s file on Lee Harvey Oswald from November 1959 to November 1963. He was in charge of the surveillance of Oswald during those four years.

Here’s what I wrote about the man in a preface to The Ghost, my 2017 biography of Angleton.
