  <about><![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;James Ramon Jones&lt;/b&gt; was an American author known for his explorations of World War II and its aftermath.

His wartime experiences inspired some of his most famous works. He witnessed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to his first published novel, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/116114&quot;&gt;From Here to Eternity&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/92417&quot;&gt;The Thin Red Line&lt;/a&gt; reflected his combat experiences on Guadalcanal. His last novel, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144908&quot;&gt;Whistle&lt;/a&gt;, was based on his hospital stay in Memphis, Tennessee, recovering from his wounds.
