I must confess utter ignorance about this man. His story, legacy, and journalism should be read and studied by everyone. I encourage everyone to read the short biography at the link. This is a must read in my opinion.

Also, his reports from Germany and Italy are absolutely fascinating and are free of the typical filter we usually get regarding information about this era.

        life. As a child he had heard many stories of the happy times his mother 
        spent with the family of Arthur Hughes from 1889 to 1892 as tutor to his 
        children. Arthur Hughes was the son of the Welshman, John Hughes the steel 
        industrialist who founded the town of Hughesovska, later the tragic town 
        of Stalino in World War II and today known as the city of Donetz.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.garethjones.org/overview/mainoverview.htm"><P align="justify" class="articles">These stories instilled in him a desire to visit the 
        Soviet Union and Ukraine. So with this goal in mind he studied languages 
        and had a brilliant academic career at University, both in Aberystwyth 
        and Cambridge where he gained first-class honours in French, German and 
        Russian; all of which he spoke fluently.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.garethjones.org/overview/mainoverview.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.garethjones.org/img/8CD7EB42-D6AA-4752-8B82-A8A8A158DB0C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.garethjones.org/overview/mainoverview.htm"><I>Jones family photograph, at Barry, South Wales, circa 1930.
