Authorised biography of John Barnard Jenkins. A former British Army officer turned leader of Welsh nationalist paramilitary organisation Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru, he masterminded their 1960s bombing campaign, protesting British state oppression and exploitation of Wales' natural resources in the wake of the Tryweryn scandal and in the run-up to the Investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales. The campaign led to a ten-year prison sentence for Jenkins, but also to increased public awareness of the issues and demand for devolved powers for Wales. A reclusive revolutionary, John Jenkins has been extremely guarded about his life and the bombing campaign, and until now little has been made public. Here he finally goes on record to tell the full story. After decades of speculation, this book finally opens the door on one of the most fascinating periods of Welsh history and one of the most intriguing, iconic and controversial figures of recent Welsh history. The sensational new material in the book generated UK-wide coverage in print, TV and digital media, with radio and TV documentaries on the BBC. Of special interest in light of the growing debate about Welsh independence.
