Milton Osborne is an Australian historian, author, and consultant specializing in Southeast Asia. He attended North Sydney Boys' High School, graduated from the University of Sydney and received a PhD from Cornell University. Osborne held academic positions in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and Singapore. Osborne's main historical contribution has been to synthesise the history of the region as a whole, rather than concentrate on the histories of the present-day nations. His Southeast Asia association began in 1959 with an Australian diplomatic posting to Phnom Penh. In 1980 and 1981 Osborne advised the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on the Cambodian refugee problem. In 1982 he returned to Australia, working as Head of the Asia Branch of the Office of National Assessments, also serving for a year as Head of Current Intelligence. Osborne now lives in Sydney and continues to write while consulting on Asian issues. At Sydney University in the 1950s he studied history with Jill Ker Conway.〔Jill Ker Conway 'The Road from Coorain' William Heinemann 1989.〕 == Books == * ''Singapore and Malaysia'' (1964) * ''Strategic Hamlets in South Viet-Nam: A Survey and a Comparison'' (1965) * ''The French Presence in Cochinchina and Cambodia: Rule and Response (1859–1905)'' (1969, reprinted 1997) * ''Region of Revolt: Focus on Southeast Asia'' (1970) * ''Politics and Power in Cambodia: The Sihanouk Years'' (Longman, 1973) * ''River Road to China: The Mekong River Expedition, 1866–1873'' (London and New York, 1975) * ''Southeast Asia: An Introductory History'' (ten editions, 1979–2010) * ''Before Kampuchea: Preludes to Tragedy'' (1979) * ''Sihanouk: Prince of Light, Prince of Darkness'' (1994) * ''River Road to China: The Search for the Source of the Mekong, 1866–73'' (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1999) ISBN 0-87113-752-6 * ''The Mekong: Turbulent Past, Uncertain Future'', Allen & Unwin, Sydney (2000), ISBN 1-86508-219-8 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milton Osborne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
