Books By John Hughes-Wilson - Author

Colonel John Hughes-Wilson is one of Britain's leading military historians, and a well-reviewed author and commentator on a wide range of intelligence and military-history subjects. He was selected to be the author of the Imperial War Museum's A History of the First World War in 100 Objects for the centenary of the start of the Great War in 2014, and the original edition of his Military Intelligence Blunders was found at Osama bin Laden's bedside after his assassination and has become a CIA textbook. Colonel Hughes-Wilson has also been a frequent broadcaster for BBC television and radio. During his twenty-five years in the Intelligence Corps and as a special forces operations officer, he saw active service in the Falkland Islands, Cyprus, Arabia and Northern Ireland, as well as in the dangerous jungles of Whitehall and NATO. The revised edition of his remarkable study of the events in Dallas, Texas, of November 1963, is republished to mark the sixtieth anniversary of JFK's assassination. Colonel Hughes-Wilson
