As powerful and riveting as a John Le Carre thriller, The Man Nobody Knew uncovers the hidden life of legendary CIA spymaster William Colby. The consummate American soldier-spy, Colby took on the government's dirtiest assignments without question - until the day he defied presidential orders and revealed to Congress the CIA's "family jewels" - their darkest, deepest secrets. Told by his son Carl Colby and featuring a who's who of the intelligence community as well as top journalists and writers, Colby's story unmasks the lies, myths, truths, sacrifices and causalities of a covert spy.
This probing documentary from Carl Coby investigates a figure at once cloaked in mystery and close to his heart: his father, CIA operative William Coby. From his father's early career parachuting into Europe during WWII, to election tampering in Italy, to the controversial Phoenix Program during Vietnam, Coby's father's exploits are studied in depth, sometime for the first time ever, with a mix of professional and personal insight.
