It will give an "Illuminating" look into the birth of the CIA and its link to secret society Skull&Bones of Yale.
Edward Wilson, the character played by Matt Damon, is based at least in part on James Jesus Angleton, the long-serving director of the CIA's counter-intelligence staff who also fell victim to intense paranoia during his career, and covert operations specialist Richard Bissell. [4]
James Jesus Angleton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jesus_Angleton
James Jesús Moreno Angleton (December 9, 1917–May 12, 1987), known to friends and colleagues as Jim and nicknamed "the Kingfisher", was the long-serving chief of the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) counter-intelligence (CI) staff (Associate Deputy Director of Operations for Counterintelligence/ADDOCI).
A poetry aficionado with known ties to the likes of Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot, and an avid fly-fisherman and orchid-grower, Angleton was an unofficial adviser to successive Directors of the CIA, most notably Allen Dulles and Richard Helms. His creative genius for scenario-building and thoroughly penetrating understanding of espionage, deception, and false flag operations remain uneclipsed to this very day. His excesses as a counter-intelligence czar, arising from extreme paranoia that may have been clinical, had adverse effects on the Agency, especially during the 1970s. Considered by many within the intelligence profession as the single most polarizing, most controversial, and admittedly most revered spymaster bar none, Angleton had lived spy tradecraft with mad passion. Even the KGB used much of his tradecraft as training tools for their case officers and assets.
Richard Mervin Bissell, Jr. went to Groton School. Three of his fellow pupils at Groton were Joseph Alsop, Eugene Rostow, and Tracy Barnes. He studied economics at Yale University and graduated in 1932. His brother, William, also attended Yale and became a member of Skull and Bones.
Here are some print publications used for background.
CIA Director for Plans
In 1958 Allen Dulles appointed Bissell as the CIA's Director for Plans (DPP), replacing Frank Wisner (who had suffered a mental breakdown). Richard Helms stayed on as Bissell's deputy. The Directorate for Plans reportedly controlled over half the CIA's budget and was responsible for what became known as the CIA's Black Operations. (DPP oversaw plans to overthrow Arbenz, Lumumba, Trujillo, Kassem, Diem, and others. Bissell's main target was Fidel Castro.)
As a face-saving exit from the CIA, John F. Kennedy offered Bissell the post as director of a new science and technology department. This would place him in charge of the development of the SR-71, the new spy plane that would make the U-2 obsolete. Bissell turned down the offer and in February 1962 he left the Central Intelligence Agency and was replaced as head of the Directorate for Plans, by Richard Helms.
Bissell became head of the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) in 1962. IDA was a Pentagon think tank set up to evaluate weapons systems. Later he worked for United Technologies in Hartford (1964-74), which supplied weapons systems. He also worked as a consultant for the Ford Foundation.
Richard Bissell died in 1994. His autobiography, Reflections of a Cold Warrior: From Yalta to the Bay of Pigs, was published two years later.
