...it's impossible for anyone to read this book and not be emotionally and mentally drained; such is the level of depravity, horrific barbarity, and bestial violence of the book's subject matter (i actually cried and had trouble sleeping while reading it--a definite first). a work of monumental importance, the rape of nanking is essential reading, esp for the fact that japanese ignorance and even ridiculous denial still perservere, and justice has yet to be served for the massacre's victims. tbh this book shouldnt even be rated, bc its significance alone unquestionably exceeds any such trivial thing as a star rating on this site.
