"That
part of the world is a cauldron of conflicting intrigue and one or other
interests concerned probably knew that Mr Gareth Jones knew too much of what was
going on... He had a passion for finding out what was happening in foreign
lands wherever there was trouble, and in pursuit of his investigations he shrank
from no risk... I had always been afraid that he would take one risk too many.
Nothing escaped his observation, and he allowed no obstacle to turn from his
course when he thought that there was some fact, which he could obtain. He had
the almost unfailing knack of getting at things that mattered."
London Evening Standard, quoting former British Prime Minister David
Lloyd George, 26th August 1935.
