About the author
Ed Jocelyn
2 books3 followersDr. Ed Jocelyn is among the most famous historians and adventurers in China.
Ed holds a Ph.D in history and is the world's leading authority on the Long March... probably. An Australian-born Englishman who has lived in China since 1997, Ed turned to field study in 2002 when he launched the New Long March project with his old friend Andrew McEwen. Their aim was to retrace the entire Long March on foot.
In the following five years, Ed trekked 8,000 miles through remote parts of China. He spent several months in the Kham region of eastern Tibet, conceiving a particular affection for this wild country.
The story of Ed's first journey is told in The Long March, co-written with Andrew McEwen and published in five languages in 2006-7. Ed's current research explores the history of the revolutionary era in Kham, focusing particularly on the Tibetan rebellion in Zhongdian. When not exploring, Ed lives and writes in Beijing with his two cat companions, Xiao Mao and Li Gui.
