    Colonel H. Jones -- Hero or Hothead?

    A new book about paratroop Colonel H. Jones VC , killed at Goose Green in the 1982 Falklands Conflict, defends him against criticisms of reckless impetuosity and foolhardiness leading to his death at the hands of an Argentine sniper. He was awarded the Commonwealth's highest medal for valour, the Victoria Cross.
