Biography
Miles Copeland, Jr. was a jazz musician who played trumpet. Miles Copeland, Jr. was born on 16 July 1916 in Birmingham and died on 14 January 1991 in Oxfordshire.
Miles Axe Copeland Jr. (July 16, 1916 – January 14, 1991) was a founder and case officer of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), best known for his relationship with Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser and his public commentary on intelligence matters. Copeland participated in numerous covert operations, including the March 1949 Syrian coup d'état and the 1953 Iranian coup d'état. A conservative who was influenced by the ideas of James Burnham, Copeland was associated with the American political magazine National Review. In 1986, he told Rolling Stone, "Unlike The New York Times, Victor Marchetti and Philip Agee, my complaint has been that the CIA isn't overthrowing enough anti-American governments or assassinating enough anti-American leaders, but I guess I'm getting old."
