Book excerpt: "Thoroughly researched and including much new material, this biography is written with the cooperation of H. Jones's widow and is published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of his death at the climax of the Falklands War. It is the story of an emblematic but complex war hero whose family history was surprising, whose army life included exposure to most of the military problems which Britain has encountered since the Second World War (including security in Northern Ireland, where H. Jones was in command of the search for Robert Nairac), and whose dramatic death and subsequent posthumous VC symbolized an extraordinary campaign which was truly the end of an era. Sir John Wilsey was a close friend and army colleague of H. Jones. The biography is introduced by Sir John Keegan."
