CIA Agent I: Kermit Roosevelt Jr.

Posted April 2008

"Kermit Roosevelt, an OSS veteran, Arabist, chief of Middle East operations, and inheritor of some of his grandfather Theodore's love of adventure."

Probably best remembered for his key role in formenting the coup that overthrew Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh and restored the Shah to the throne.
