After teaching at the University of Westminster I worked at The Guardian
(UK) for twenty years as assistant foreign editor and chief foreign leader-writer (1983-2003). Having specialised for many
years on China and East Asia, I am now doing research on the historical perception of peace, and am
helping to edit the Oxford International Encyclopaedia of Peace (OUP, New York, forthcoming).
Recent work:
"WOMEN OF THE REVOLUTION", a review of three fascinating though very different books on the experiences of modern Chinese women.
"HERE BE DRAGONS!" a review of eight recent books on China, all by a strange coincidence containing the word dragon in their title.
