The YouTube influencer Wallly Rashid has done a nice piece of original research on James Angleton. The results are illuminating.
In a hard-to-access Israeli archive, Rashid found casual correspondence that confirms James Angleton’s early friendship with Teddy Kollek, one of the first Mossad officers assigned to Washington. Kollek lived in the U.S. in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s before becoming the mayor of Jerusalem in 1965.
Rashid’s indisputable point: Angleton’s connections to Israel ran deep, a point I document in some depth in “The Ghost,” my 2017 biography of Angleton.
