I could not put it down.
I learned about the Nanking Massacre in my World Studies class. I immediately went home that day and bought the book, which my teacher had held up for us to see.
I hate that I waited almost a full year to read it. I don't regret it at all. I could talk about this book for hours and write an entire paper about it.
The end of Chang's life was extremely unfortunate, but she has done a remarkable and a world-changing thing by writing this book. She wrote the un-writeable. She talked about what no one would. She went more than that extra mile to make sure we knew even the smallest of small details about this event.
Easily my favorite non-fiction book. Truly eye-opening.

The world was about to forget what had actually taken place in Nanjing in 1938/9, how horrific those the actions of the Japanese soldiers actually had been and how mich the Chinese population had suffered. The goal of the Japanese Government is to forget the atrocities they did in China (and Korea, etc.) and is doing a really good job of it with the help of the US, as economic interests weigh more than justice apparently. You cannot overstate how important Chang's work has been and I'm thankful and inspired by her work. Her book has been one of the very few way the victims of the rape of Nanjing have been given some justice.
Please, if you have the time, read this book and then tell everyone you know about what you've learnt.
RIP Iris Chang
