In the period of the Vietnam War and Soviet-American detente, Angleton was convinced of the necessity of the war and believed that the strategic calculations underlying the resumption of relations with China were based on a KGB staging of the Sino-Soviet split.
Angleton's tour of duty in Italy as an intelligence officer is long regarded as a critical turn not only in his professional life, wherein he helped recover Mussolini's and the Nazis' looted treasures from other European countries and Africa, but also for the Agency itself.
Angleton is a recurring figure in swaths of conspiracy theory.

 James Angleton
James Angleton was sent to be educated at Malvern College, a public school in Worcestershire.
Angleton was convinced by this story as he knew someone was involved in spying the negotiations that took place between Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Angleton said he had read the diary, that two other people, whom he cryptically identified to the two journalists as "M" and "F," had read the diary, and that Mary's eldest son, Quentin, was also allowed to read it.

 Diary Entry - Angleton
When the OSS was dissolved in 1945, Angleton elected to remain in secret intelligence as part of a minute unit, called the "Central Intelligence Group." His job involved maintaining three by fives cards in the registry on possible recruits-- all that remained of the once sprawling memory of an all but defunct intelligence service.
Angleton then, at the age of thirty, had come to so personify the art of intelligence that the CIA briefly considered using his profile as its official logo-- though the idea was rejected.
The responsibility that Angleton assumed in updating their records in the registry was determining which of the double-agents were "bona fide" sources.

 NEXUS: CIA, JFK, UFOs & James Jesus Angleton
Angleton's war experience in counterintelligence operations had affected him to the extent that he became absorbed into the "hall of mirrors" world of intelligence and refused to leave the service, despite much insistence and disappointment from his father.
James would pour over the many CI files he had amassed while in Italy and was forever changed by the intrigue and the possibilities of a career in the CIG.
Angleton had him detained and tortured for three years, believing the warning given by another KGB defector, Anatoliy Mikaylovich Golitsyn, that Norsenko was ordered to defect and act as a disinformation plant to spread misleading information to the CIA regarding Soviet capabilities and intentions.

Angleton extrapolated from this his theory of a "wilderness of imrrors" (the term is thought to be a reference to T. Eliot's "Gerontion"), which entailed that the KGB as capable of manipulating the CIA to believe what they wanted through channels that the CIA was unable to identify and defend against.
Angleton was awarded the Distinguished Intelligence Medal, the CIA's highest honor, in 1975.Golitsyn was considered discredited within the CIA eben before Angleton's ouster, but the two did not appear to have lost their faith in one another.
Angleton's tour of duty in Italy as an intelligence officer is long regarded as a ccitical turn not only in his professional life, wherein he helped recover Mussolini's and the Nazis' looted treasures from other European countries and Africa, but also for the Agency itself.

Angleton, the guy who ends up staying too long at the spy party--so to speak--seems to be another incarnation of the "Rufus" character from prior Buckley spy books.

James Jesus Angleton (1917-1987) headed the CIA's Counterintelligence Staff from 1954 until he was forced into retirement by then-DCI Colby in 1974.
Angleton had earlier served in the OSS and from late 1944 had been in charge of OSS counterintelligence operations in Italy.
Whether it was Angleton or fellow CI officer, William K. Harvey, who first became suspicious of Philby is one of the many aspects of Angleton's career that remains in dispute.

 Amazon.de: Cold Warrior: James Jesus Angleton : The Cia's Master Spy Hunter: English Books: Tom Mangold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Mangold's first-class biography of James Angleton, CIA counterintelligence chief from 1955 to 1975, who died in 1987, concentrates on Angleton's obsessive search for Soviet double agents within the agency.
Mangold relates the episode involving Yury Nosenko, who defected to the West in 1964; Angleton, convinced he was a Soviet plant, kept him a secret prisoner of the CIA throughout much of the 1960s and tried unsuccessfully to force a "confession" from him.
After Angleton was eased out of the agency in Watergate's wake, his successors found a wealth of secret files that had never been incorporated in the organization's central registry.

To support the action of firing Angleton (the chief and founder of CIA's counterintelligence structure), many institutionalized myths became "reality." It was important to such justification to advance the false notions of Angleton going off the deep end into a world of paranoia.
Angleton was CIA’s CI chief from 1954 to 1974.
The accusers love to use the word "paranoid" to support their notion that Angleton was a thoroughly discredited figure...that he was clinically "paranoid." Such as stance avoids the troubling implications of what Angleton's views suggested.

Angleton is a fascinating character and I'm certain that there is little difference between this fictional Angleton and the real one.
Jim Angleton remains in the background throughout much of the story while the bulk of the spy action is handled by his young protege, Tony Crespi, who is stationed in Beirut.
Angleton's main obsession as Director of Counterintelligence is the search for the infamous Fifth Man who collaborated with Burgess, Maclean, Blunt and Philby.

JJA: My question is whether the French were running one of their little disinformation stings on the United States.
JJA: So now you're going to ask why the whole world believes that we went to war at least in part because we fell for the phony documents.
JJA: I think they thought they were protecting CIA in some weird way.
