Jules J. Bond was born in Vienna on 31 March 1909, probably as Julius Jerome Bondy, into a Jewish family. He finished secondary school in 1927 and earned a doctorate in law in 1932. In Austria he worked as a journalist and, by his own account, was a partner in the Ignaz Steinmann printing company in Vienna. From 1936 at the latest he spent time in the United States as a correspondent, and in October 1940 he was living in New York City as a freelance journalist and translator.

From 1936 at the latest he spent time in the United States as a correspondent, and in October 1940 he was living in New York City as a freelance journalist and translator.

Bond was drafted at New York City on 8 December 1942 and went through the Reception Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey, to basic training with the 94th Infantry Division at Camp Phillips, Kansas. In January 1943 he was transferred to the Military Intelligence Training Center at Camp Ritchie, where he trained as a German-language prisoner-of-war interrogator in [[:Category:Class 5|Class 5]] (section 9, German; certificate 926), specializing as a document examiner. In January 1944 he was assigned to the combat propaganda troops of the 3rd Mobile Radio Broadcasting Company and took a psychological warfare course at Camp Sharpe, Pennsylvania. He sailed for Britain in April 1944 and in May took further combat propaganda training at the Psychological Warfare School in Brondesbury Park, London.

In July 1944 Bond landed in Normandy with the 3rd MRBC. Under the Publicity and Psychological Warfare Section of the 12th Army Group he was sent from August, probably as an editor or leaflet writer, on propaganda missions to Le Mans and possibly Rennes and to the combat propaganda team of the Third U.S. Army. In September he was detached to the 2nd MRBC at Verdun, and from October 1944 he worked as an editor and translator at Radio Luxembourg, probably until the end of the war, likely also contributing to the 12th Army Group's leaflet newspapers. He received the Bronze Star. In June 1945, again with the 3rd MRBC, he was promoted to second lieutenant, and he later pursued restitution claims concerning the printing firm and family property in Vienna. He was probably discharged as a second lieutenant in 1950. He later became a senior executive of the Voice of America and a cookbook author, and died in Peconic, New York, on 22 June 1993.
