Richard Bissell (1909-1994) was the CIA's Deputy Director For Plans from 1959 to 1964.[1]
According to the Independent, Bissell was "the central covert operations man in the Central Intelligence Agency for the central period of the cold war":
- Not the most well-known nor the highest-ranking official, Bissell was the man who planned and gave the orders for such low points in American cold-war dirty tricks as the overthrow of Patrice Lumumba, the disastrous invasion of Cuba and the numerous (failed) attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro.[2]
