CIA. ~ July 10, ten days after the country has declared its independence from its former colonial master, Belgium. The army~underpaid~is restive, and bands of soldiers rove around the streets of the capital, Leopoldville. There is talk of summary executions and mob rule. The white population of what used to be a comfortable modern metropolis is fleeing across the Congo River. Almost no one is traveling the other way, into the chaos~except for the newly appointed CIA Station Chief, Larry Devlin. Who now, just days after his arrival, finds himself at the wrong end of a revolver as militiamen play Russian roulette, Congo~style, with him. That's how one of the CIA's more exuberant operatives began one of his more chaotic postings. Congo was a key Cold War battlefield in a war that for CIA officers of Devlin's generation had to be fought, vigorously, by all means necessary. When Devlin arrived, Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba, who seemed to be falling under the influence of the communists, threatened to invite the Soviet Union into Central Africa's largest country~a vital strategic location at the heart of the continent, bordering nine other countries. The diamond~rich province of Katanga was on the verge of secession. The garrison in Stanleyville was in full mutiny. When Devlin left, Lumumba had been mysteriously killed, the Katangan rebellion ended, and power in the Congo handed unmistakably to Joseph Desire Mobutu, a colonel in the army who would remain president for more than thirty years~the duration of the Cold War. Once Mobutu was in power, the Soviets would never again find a toehold of influence in Congo. Through the death of Dag Hammarskjold and the wild mercenary activities of Mike Hoare and his Fifth Commando, our man in Congo was Larry Devlin. He met every significant political figure, from presidents to coup plotters, as he took the Cold War into one of the world's hottest zones. This is a classic political memoir from a master spy who lived in wildly dramatic times. Larry Devlin was raised in California, enlisted in the army reaching the rank of captain in World War II, joined the CIA in 1949, and was appointed Chief of Station, Congo, in 1959. He subsequently served as Chief of Station, Laos, and Chief, Africa Division. He retired from the CIA in 1974. …
