Book Review of The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II

The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II

Helpful Score: 1


An amazing book. So little is known about this period. What happened to the Chinese during World War II got lost in the revolution and the Cold War. The Japanese have tried to ignore what happened. Iris Chang researched the stories of the Chinese, Japanese and Westerners who lived during this nightmare. It is a must read for it helps understand current attitudes in Asia.
