After retiring in the mid-1950s, he faced accusations of being a triple agent. In 'The Eagle in the Mirror: The Greatest Spy Story Never Told,' author Jesse Fink gets to the bottom of these allegations. Host John Kiriakou explores the claims with Fink, ultimately concurring that Ellis was indeed the greatest spy in history.
