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.
