Allen Welsh Dulles (/ˈdʌləs/; April 7, 1893 – January 29, 1969) was an American diplomat and lawyer who became
the first civilian Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI), and its longest-serving director to date. As head of
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
during the early Cold War, he oversaw the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, the Lockheed
U-2 aircraft program, the Project
MKUltra mind control program and the Bay
of Pigs Invasion. He was dismissed by John F. Kennedy over the latter fiasco.
