Ernest P. Young

Ernest P. Young is an American historian of China and East Asia who focused his research on the Catholic Church in China and on Sino-Japanese relations. He taught at the University of Michigan from 1968 to 2002.

Young's books include Yuan Shih-kai's Rise to the Presidency (1967), The Presidency of Yuan Shih-k'ai (The University of Michigan Press, 1977) and Ecclesiastical Colony: China's Catholic Church and the French Religious Protectorate (Oxford University Press, 2013).

Young earned a PhD. in History and Far Eastern Languages at Harvard University in 1965.

Young worked at the Embassy of Japan for the Ambassador, and at Dartmouth College before his professorship at the University of Michigan.

During the Vietnam War, his venture to Japan to interview a group of young anti-war deserters known as "The Intrepid Four" made headlines.[1]

His marriage to foreign policy expert Marilyn B. Young, a professor at New York University, ended in divorce. He later remarried M. Brady Mikusko, a life coach and mediator.
