George Cave majored in Middle Eastern studies at Princeton University, where he studied from 1952 to 1956,[5] and joined CIA after graduation. One account claims Cave served for the CIA in Teheran during the 1953 Iranian coup d'état that restored the Shah of Iran to power.[6] In the mid 1970s he served in Tehran as deputy CIA station chief, with personal ties to the Shah.[6] His "pseudo name" was "Adlesick".[7] In the series "Documents from the U.S. Espionage Den" he is referred to in volumes 10, 17, 38, 55 and 56. In October 1979, he gave a briefing to Abbas Amir-Entezam and Ebrahim Yazdi, based on intelligence from the IBEX system, that Iraq was preparing to invade.[8]
By 1977, when he was working in Jeddah, he had six children, three of whom were in college.[9]
He testified against Clair George about the CIA's involvement in Iran-Contra.[10][11]
He published his first novel, October 1980 in December 2013.[12] In his final interview Duane Clarridge, former CIA operations officer and Iran-Contra figure, hinted that this novel was a largely accurate depiction of how Reagan's October Surprise transpired.[13]
