The web page links below will allow you a preview of just four chapters from Margaret Siriol Colley's 300-page book, Gareth Jones: A Manchukuo Incident, which contains over 100 photos, many taken by Gareth.

Click on the link 'My Uncle Gareth' to read an introductory chapter about Gareth's short eventful life prior to his fascinating 'Final Journey' into Japanese controlled Manchuria [Manchukuo / Manchuguo], from where he was never to return alive. 

'Capturing the News' has two short chapters relating to Gareth's kidnapping as told by the press over two weeks in August 1935...  

After which follows the main two sections of Siriol Colley's book which were painstakingly complied and researched over ten years (and for obvious book sales considerations have been omitted from this web preview!)  

The first section covers Gareth's fascinating Far Eastern travelogue pieced together from his numerous letters, diaries, interviews and notes.  The second then section provides a retrospective and in-depth investigation into his murder (utilising many sources including almost 400 pages of  classified British Foreign Office records; kept secret under the 30 year rule). 

However to get a better understanding of the full structure of the book, and also discover some minor sections of the book, then by clicking HERE will take you to the Table of Contents page for the whole book.

Finally the last link on this page gives an in-depth  'Historical  Background' to the politics of the Far East and especially Manchukuo [Manchuguo] (Japanese controlled Manchuria) prior to Gareth's fact-finding tour in 1935.
