Murdered in Mongolia in 1935 on the orders of Stalin, the Welsh investigative journalist Gareth Jones is a national hero in Ukraine for reporting the truth about the Holodomor (the Soviet Union's politically-driven famine that killed millions) and is widely believed to be the inspiration for the character Mr Jones in George Orwell's 'Animal Farm'. This biography of Gareth Jones reveals the remarkable yet tragically short life of this fascinating and determined Welshman who pioneered the role of investigative journalism. Show more
