Fascinated by China's past since first studying Mandarin at a Chinese university, Scott Forbes Crawford has written extensively about Chinese and Asian history. His work, appearing in Ancient History Magazine, Medieval Warfare Magazine, The History Network podcast and elsewhere, has explored China's military developments, the culture of its nomadic steppe neighbours, and the conflicts borne at the intersection of these areas. Also a novelist, Crawford brings narrative drive and an eye for character to the telling of history, making the ancient past vivid to modern readers. He has lived for more than a dozen years in Beijing and Taipei and will soon move to Japan with his wife and daughter.
