Starting a four part series on a figure that I feel is underexplored and critical to our story. Taking a break from the Road to Dallas, I hope to outline the life and times of General Charles Willoughby, the man in charge of army intelligence in the Pacific from 1941-51 and a major sponsor of activist groups post-retirement.
Today I start with his origins and first army assignments.

David Atlee Phillips, CIA officer for 25 years almost exclusively in Latin America is a key player in nearly every CIA-JFK assassination theory. Today I introduce Phillips, his early career, what brought him to Havana and some of his more dubious assignments before his second tour in Cuba during the early days of the Castro Government. I show why Phillips is the archetypal CIA officer, or as I call him, a spy's spy.

Today I follow Ted Shackley's move to South Florida in 1962 as the JMWAVE station chief. Ted took over the Cuba show and got his first real paramilitary experience. Miami and South Florida were ground zero for the CIA's cultivation of real paramilitary capabilities. I take a close look at the men who worked at JMWAVE, many of whom would follow Shackley to South East Asia in the mid-60s. Finally I take a closer look at the Kennedy Administration's often tense relationship with the CIA, especia...

This is part one of three of a documentary covering George H.W. Bush's early career and entry into the CIA. Today the focus is mostly on Bush's father, Senator Prescott Bush of Connecticut and his time as an investment banker on Wall Street. This family history is critical to understanding his son's life and career as a spy and politician.
