Agee, Philip Burnett Franklin
▪ 2009

      American government official

born July 19, 1935, Tacoma Park, Fla.

died Jan. 7, 2008, Havana, Cuba
was stripped of his U.S. citizenship (1979) and marked as an international pariah after publishing Inside the Company: A CIA Diary (1975), which divulged his growing disillusionment with the CIA while serving in the 1960s as an undercover officer for that agency; he also revealed the identities of some 250 CIA operatives working clandestinely, mainly in Latin America, and exposed the nature of CIA covert activities, arguing that he was repulsed by CIA machinations that propped up dictatorial regimes. Agee was accused of having betrayed his country by working with the Soviet KGB and Cuban intelligence and jeopardizing the lives of fellow CIA agents. In 1987 he published another book, On the Run, which chronicled his disenchantment with the CIA. After his expulsion from the U.S., Agee secured a Grenadian passport and lived in Great Britain, France, and Nicaragua; in later years he traveled between Germany and Cuba, where he operated a travel Web site.
