British-born American writer and sociologist (1916–1997)
Hugh Jones Parry (March 10, 1916 – December 3, 1997) was a British-born American writer and sociologist. He wrote fiction as James Cross.
Hugh Jones Parry was born on March 10, 1916, in London, to Jane Myfanwy (Jones) and John Parry.[1] The family came to the United States in 1919, moving to Scarsdale, New York.[2] He received a bachelor's degree from Yale University in 1937, a master's from Columbia University in 1939, and a PhD from the University of Southern California in 1949.[1]
Parry was in the United States Navy during World War II, stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He then worked in military intelligence and as a researcher in several diplomatic positions. In 1958, he became a researcher at the United States Information Agency in Washington, D.C.[2]
Parry was an assistant professor of sociology and social psychology at the University of Denver from 1947 to 1949.[3] As of 1967, he taught sociology at George Washington University, where he worked at the Social Research Group.[4] While teaching, he wrote thrillers and short stories as James Cross,[4] some of which drew on his time as an intelligence operative.[2] He retired in 1982.[2]
Parry died on December 3, 1997, at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C.[2]
