He was 75. Shackley died Monday at his home in Bethesda, according to Joseph Gawler and Sons funeral home. Story Tools Subjects Mentioned West Palm Beach Cold War Fidel Castro Names Mentioned Thomas Spencer More Wire Service Stories Breaking News Business Entertainment Politics Science Sports Technology World As Miami station chief, Shackley directed about 400 agents and operatives during the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962 and Operation Mongoose, a U.S. effort to topple Cuban leader Fidel Castro . He later served as the CIA's associate deputy director for clandestine operations from May 1976 to December 1977. "Shackley was an emblematic figure of the Cold War _ the epitome of the clandestine bureaucrat who had been involved in the key chapters, many of them dark, of the CIA's history," said David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation and author of "Blond Ghost: Ted Shackley and the CIA's Crusades." Nicknamed "The Blond Ghost" because he hated to be photographed, Shackley has been described by those who knew him as an exacting, intense, elusive covert operator. He was "a brilliant mind, a tremendous tactician and strategist," said Miami attorney Thomas Spencer, a friend of Shackley's for three decades. "He was able to pick up the phone and talk to virtually every world leader that existed in the last 20 years." Shackley held several high-profile posts during a 28-year career with the CIA, including work as a senior CIA officer in Berlin, Saigon and Laos. He retired from the CIA in 1979 and set up a Washington-area consulting firm that offered security strategy to corporate executives. He also wrote a book on counterinsurgency in 1981 called "The Third Option." Shackley was raised in West Palm Beach , Fla., and attended the University of Maryland. Copyright © 2002 Associated Press.
