description: The man who created Hitler's dreaded Gestapo and was once thought to have died in the battle of Berlin, survived the war and in 1948 was recruited by the U.S. CIA. From 1948 through 1952, Mller lived in the Washington, D.C. area and worked closely with top leadership of the CIA and the Truman Administration. Muller kept regular journals during this period, putting down the secret activities of the fledgling CIA and his own observations about the inner workings of the White House and its top aides. The historical and political realities of the beginnings of the Cold War, the McCarthy probes and Mller's part in them, the Korean War, anti-Semitism in official circles, CIA plans to overthrow foreign governments, high-level theft of government funds, Muller's connection with Kim Philby and other Soviet agents are all found in the journals. Muller frankly discusses his numerous affairs with the wives of his CIA co-workers, his courtship and marriage to a wealthy Washington socialite, his dealings in stolen art, his membership in exclusive Washington and New York clubs, and his personal and business connections with some of America's top business, military and political leaders.
