The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II by Iris Chang
3 journalers for this copy...
This is an amazing telling of war crimes committed in China during a 6 week period of the 1930's. I am a history buff and had never recalled hearing about the events. It is truly a compelling read.
From the back cover:
"In December 1937, the Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking. Within weeks, more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers were systematically, raped, tortured, and murdered--a death toll exceeding that of the atomic blasts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined. Using extensive interviews with survivors and newly discovered documents, Iris Chang has written the definitive history of this horrifying episode."
