The greatest spy
Charles Howard “Dick” Ellis was a prominent MI6 officer during World War II, serving as the agency’s top intelligence officer in the United States. Known for his numerous medals and recognition, Ellis was considered one of the greatest intelligence professionals in UK history. After retiring in the mid-1950s, he faced accusations of being a triple agent. In “The Eagle in the Mirror: The Greatest Spy Story Never Told,” author Jesse Fink gets to the bottom of these allegations. Host John Kiriakou explores the claims with Fink, ultimately concurring that Ellis was indeed the greatest spy in history.
