The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II by Iris Chang

dmathuna's review against another edition
4.5
The sheer barbarity and brutality shown to the Chinese inhabitants of Nanjing is staggering and each page you uncover a new horror you previously thought incomprehensible. The detailing of how widespread the systematic rape of all women regardless of age, pregnancy, occupation churned my stomach in a way I don’t think has ever happened to me. I am absolutely forever changed by the contents of this book and it will never leave me for the rest of my life..
The fact that elements of Japanese society still can’t accept that this event occurred much less that their soldiers carried it out with explicit knowledge by their government leaders is tragic and should be a crime akin to denial of the holocaust. I can only hope that since the time the book was published that attitudes there have started to change. More than 300,000 people were murdered by the occupation and we did them a disservice by not remembering this event more.
At the time of me writing this review Iris Chang would have been 56.

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

I didn't love the audiobook narrator for this, but listening to her read at, like, 1.25x speed was just fine.

Don't read this if you're easily upset by the worst things humans can do to other humans. 40,000 to 300,000 civilians murdered in SIX WEEKS and in a manner that would make the directors of gore films blush.yerulp's review
