While such judgments should be offered (and received) with caution, by some, certainly, he was thought amiable, agreeable but mentally very, very dim. Perhaps in the most charitable view, he had passed his best by the time of his great fiascos...beyond doubt that he had not only passed his best but that his best had never been.

In popular culture Dulles later recounted the events of Sunrise in his book, The Secret Surrender (1966). Dulles avidly promoted his role in the affair in order to advance his career. Operation Sunrise was documented in Seventeen Moments of Spring, a Soviet historical TV series, which called it "Operation Sunrise Crossword". References Bibliography Stephen P.
