Rage Doyle’s first foreign posting after joining the CIA was to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, Czechoslovakia. As the years passed, wherever operatives met, when Doyle’s name came up in quiet conversations, there was often talk of a young woman in Prague. No one seemed to know her name, but most could remember that she had long blond hair often worn in one braided tail. And they remembered she had green eyes that were difficult to describe. Most who tried ended shaking their head and saying something like “they were this indescribable green – not just green but . . .” That’s when they began to shake their heads.

Doyle had left Prague and the woman after a couple of months. A call had sent him to South America-specifically to Bolivia and its mountainous jungles. Though there was no proven connection to Rage Doyle, on October 8th, 1967, Ernesto “Che” Guevara was located, wounded and captured in a firefight in the Yuro ravine of Bolivia’s mountains. The revolutionary, and Fidel Castro’s friend, was executed the next day in the nearby small village of La Higuera. The capture and execution were only a few months after Doyle’s arrival in the country. Coincidence? Most thought not!

Another trait Doyle was known for involved the fact that he almost never made notes of any sort. He carried details in his mind arguing information couldn’t be lost that way. When confronted with the fact that intelligence would obviously be lost if he was killed, Doyle pointed out that without him, any of his particulars would already be useless. Given his record, fellow operatives and managers tended to agree.
