George de Mohrenschildt is one of the most controversial figures in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Who was the real George de Mohrenschildt and what part did he play in the violent politics of the 1960â€™s? Far beyond the six months he knew alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, this biography reveals the compete George de Mohrenschildt. A combination of Errol Flynn and Ernest Hemingway, he was equally at home on the dance floor at the Waldorf or slashing his way through the jungles of Costa Rica.
