This is a very graphic book, it is a very heavy topic. It has pictures depicting the Chinese women who were being raped by Japanese soldiers, talks about how the Japanese were killing the Chinese captives as a sport, and much more. If you don't want something so graphic I think this isn't the book to choose.

...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.

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

Chang's book is part of the history of WWII we are never told. It is a passionate historical recording of a monstrous event.

I read the 2011 edition, and honestly could have done without most of Chang's husband's epilogue. Not a fan of the pages of him telling an audience of people not intimately involved in Chang's life, her actions and the in-depth questioning of her mental illness. It is critically important to highlight mental health, but he should have stopped at the questioning and allowed the communal grief of her death.
