  • Summary

  • Are our parents really who we think they are?

    Drummer with The Police, Stewart Copeland, sets out to uncover the truth about his father, Miles Axe Copeland ll - musician, raconteur, international businessman... and, it turns out, secret CIA operative.

    Going back to the 1940s to trace his father's involvement in the birth of the CIA, Stewart enters a murky world of dictators and dirty tricks. He learns about his dad's role in overthrowing governments, assassination plots, and befriending an infamous Soviet double agent.

    Helped by his brother and sister, and those who knew his dad's world of politics and espionage, Stewart investigates the impact his spy father had, both on their family and on the world.
