challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

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.

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

You can find me on booktube here.

This is the horrifying story of the Japanese massacre of Nanjing. It also talks about how this massacre has been allowed to almost disappear from history. To me, the fact that this is ignored in history class is in itself s tragedy. It's like if we also didn't teach about concentration camps or the atomic bombs.  I can't think of another event in human history that is as cruel as the rape of Nanjing.
