When fresh out of law school, Donovan  enrolled in the United States Navy during World War II and, toward the  end of the war, was charged with collecting and recording evidence of  Nazi atrocities, a role that then transitioned into his becoming a  prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.  Once returned to the United States he set up a private  legal practice, and his reputation grew rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In 1957 he became  involved with defending the captured Russian spy Rudolf Abel, and then  rapidly became embroiled in a much larger international political melee  as he attempted to secure the release of the captured American U-2 pilot Francis  Gary Powers. Working privately but sanctioned by the CIA, he made many  trips to East Berlin, until his eventual success. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e His career would then  see another twist as he was entrusted with negotiating directly with  Fidel Castro over the fate of the prisoners from the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
