Carl Colby - The Man No One Knew
Nov 1, 2022
Carl Colby’s father was William Colby, an American intelligence officer who served as Director of Central Intelligence from September 1973 to January 1976. During World War II Colby served with the Office of Strategic Services. After the war he joined the newly created Central Intelligence Agency.
Carl’s book deals with his father’s conscience following his involvement in the Vietnam war.
From a newspaper article
The former director of the CIA in the 1970s killed himself because he was 'tortured' by U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War under his watch, his son has claimed.
William Colby 'had had enough' by the time he quit the organisation in 1975 and was wracked with guilt over his actions, said Carl Colby.
He later supposedly drowned himself on a solo canoe trip in a death that was ruled an accident by a coroner in 1996 - but sparked endless conspiracy theories.
