About Author

Jonathan Clements is a leading sinologist. He is one of very few Britons to have lectured at a Chinese university and had books about China translated into Chinese. He is well known for his biographies of figures from Chinese history, including Chairman Mao, Confucius, Empress Wu, Khubilai Khan and Marco Polo, as well as a highly regarded history of Beijing. His biography of the First Emperor was itself published in Chinese. His most recent book is a new translation of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".
