I started reading this book because of TPW, I was curious about the real history that inspired Golyn Niis scene.

This book was really heartwrenching. I need to put down this book several times because I can't endure the pain that being told in the book. Not too much descriptive text, so I think you'll like it even if you're not into history books.

How do you accurately rate a book of such importance? The Rape of Nanking is a moment in WW2 that has long been covered up, but should be taught and remembered. Upon Japanese invasion, the population of Nanking was treated to unimaginable horrors, wounds of which have lasted for generations.

I rated this book 5 stars because it presented the info in a way that was understandable. The author includes ample evidence for each claim and adequately paints a picture of China under Japanese rule. It’s important history and the author documents it well.

...it's impossible for anyone to read this book and not be emotionally and mentally drained; such is the level of depravity, horrific barbarity, and bestial violence of the book's subject matter (i actually cried and had trouble sleeping while reading it--a definite first). a work of monumental importance, the rape of nanking is essential reading, esp for the fact that japanese ignorance and even ridiculous denial still perservere, and justice has yet to be served for the massacre's victims. tbh this book shouldnt even be rated, bc its significance alone unquestionably exceeds any such trivial thing as a star rating on this site.

Be prepared for gory violence, sexual trauma and assault, genocide denial, and upsetting imagery.
