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 an Associate Editor of the Oxford International Encyclopaedia of Peace.  
 
My new book, THE GLORIOUS ART OF PEACE: From the Iliad to Iraq, will be published by OUP in February 2012.
You can listen to a brief introduction to the book, recorded by me, on YouTube.
