OSWALD’S CLOSEST FRIEND: THE GEORGE DE MOHRENSCHILDT STORY…. Santa Cruz: Privately printed by Adamson, 1996. 160pp. Index. Bibliography (showing a number of primary sources). Numerous photographs. Facsimiles. Photographic wrappers with cloth tape spine. First of this edition. General wear and faint embossed ownership seal of a previous owner, overall good+. This is essentially two books in one. The first is a timeline which outlines the activities of most of the major players linked either directly or indirectly to President Kennedy’s assassination. The second part deals specifically with George de Mohrenschildt and his relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald. De Mohrenschildt, a Russian emigrant of noble birth, arrived in United States in 1938. A short time later, he went to work for Humble Oil, a company that was co-founded by Prescott Bush. He counted the Bushes and the Bouviers (Jacqueline called him “Uncle George”) among his friends. In 1952 De Mohrenschildt went to work for Clint Murchison in Dallas. He joined the Dallas Petroleum Club and was involved in the Council on World Affairs and the Texas Crusade for Freedom. De Mohrenschildt was also active in the Russian émigré community where he got to know Lee Harvey and Marina Oswald. On March 29, 1977, he was being interviewed by Edward J. Epstein at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach. The subject was his involvement with Oswald and the Kennedy assassination. After a break for lunch, De Mohrenschildt was found in his room dead from a single gunshot wound to the head. It was ruled a suicide but the author points to assassination. I must admit the relationship between the two is curious. De Mohrenschildt was sophisticated and well educated, moving easily in Dallas’ social and professional circles as well as its “White Russian” community. By contrast Oswald was not well educated, a loner, and hardly a man of influence. He was for the most part shunned by the Dallas’ Russian community who, by contrast, embraced De Mohrenschildt.

One of the criticisms of the Warren Commission was that it was a done hurriedly and focused on one scenario without serious investigation of other possibilities. This Select Committee, which began its investigation in 1976, was the result of public demand to re-examine the Warren Commission Report and investigate conflicting theories. In doing so, they created a cornerstone primary source on the assassination of President Kennedy. Contains the testimony of virtually everyone who might have any knowledge of the events of November 22nd (including Maria Oswald, Fidel Castro and a variety of organized crime figures), reproduces key pieces of evidence, examines other theories, and presents differing viewpoints. It also examines the Warren Report pointing out its strengths and deficiencies. Parenthetically, it extends into world politics, the political climate within the country, gives insights in LBJ and his relationship with President Kennedy, John Connally and a host of other pertinent issues.
