5.0

This is the hardest book l've ever read. It's sad I'm 24 years old and this is the first and only time l've heard of this. It's even more sad that the stories and crimes in this book aren't even unique. This is something that's happening in our world right now. We don't learn about our history any more and that's why it repeats itself...

An upsetting read that highlights just one atrocity in China that the occupying Japanese committed. Very well researched and just so sad.

challenging informative reflective sad fast-paced

She has obvious anti socialist biases, but she grew up in usa so that's expected. 

As long as you're aware of her bias, it's a good and informative book.

Should be required reading in any and all world history courses, military history courses, and quite frankly, history in general. Tough and emotional, but straightforward and informative. Devastating in its details, but a powerful read.
