The Eitingons
a twentieth-century story
by Mary-Kay Wilmers
"Leonid Eitingon was a KGB assassin who dedicated his life to the Soviet regime. He was in China in the early 1920s, in Turkey in the late 1920s, in Spain during the Civil War and, crucially, in Mexico, helping to organize the assassination of Trotsky. 'As long as I live', Stalin said, 'not a hair of his head shall be touched.' It did not work out like that. Max Eitingon was a psychoanalyst and a colleague, friend and protégé of Freud's. He was rich, secretive and -- through his friendship with a famous Russian singer -- implicated in the abduction of a White Russian general in Paris in 1937. Motty Eitingon was a New York fur dealer whose connections with the Soviet Union made him the largest trader in the world. Imprisoned by the Bolsheviks, questioned by the FBI. Was Motty everybody's friend or everybody's enemy?"--Back cover.
