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

bleedingphoenix's review against another edition

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

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