The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This is a well written and compressive history of Japanese war crimes in China. I consider this a WWII must-read for any history buffs. The author does not shy away from describing the nature of the crimes committed against Chinese civilians even in the title. The author takes enormous strides in telling the victims stories in all their detail so that we may never forget what happened in Nanking.
