Cold Warrior - the Story of James Jesus Angleton (1991x16)

Air date: May 13, 1991

Tonight's special edition traces the extraordinary career of James Jesus Angleton, the most famous spycatcher of them all. Angleton was the CIA's guru of counter-intelligence through most of the cold war, but his increasing paranoia and the obsessive mole-hunt he launched paralysed the west's spying operations against the KGB and led at least one innocent man to his death.
