Yet McGill, a Tennessee-born farm boy who always seemed embarrassed by his worldwide acclaim, preferred to think of himself as a reporter.

A contact known pseudonymously as George Wood, in the German Foreign Office, sent him more than 2,000 documents from Berlin. Dulles kept in touch with the ring of German officers who tried to assassinate Hitler on July 20, 1944.
