More Than a Grain of Truth
The official true story behind the film 'Mr. Jones'
by Dr. Margaret Siriol Colley
Pub Date 07 Feb 2020
I am reviewing a copy of More Than a Grain of Truth through Endeavour Media and Netgalley:
Garreth Jones was a young Welsh Journalist who was born in 1905 and died under mysterious circumstances on the eve of his thirtieth birthday in 1935. He had also been the foreign affairs to Lloyd Jones. He had been captured by bandits in Mongolia and held for ransom, but it is uncertain who murdered him.
In February of 1933 he flew Hitler in February of 1933 and a month later he became the first journalist to expose the famine that had been raging throughout the Soviet Union. Telling the truth at the time meant that instead of being feted by other Moscow Correspondents he was denigrated by Moscow Correspondence blackballed by the British Establishment and blackballed by the Soviet Secret Police.
Using her uncles, letters, diaries and articles, Margaret Siriol Colley creates a picture of a man who was not afraid to tell the truth, even at the cost of his own life.
I found More Than A Grain of Truth, five out of five stars.
Happy Reading!
