The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang
5.0
Iris was my contemporary and my neighbor in San Jose before she committed suicide in 2004. Her mother and my mother were classmates in Taiwan. This book is an excellent historical account of one of the biggest and most painful tragedies in Chinese history.
The Chinese in America: A Narrative History by Iris Chang
5.0
Iris and her parents were family friends of my parents. My parents and their peers are documented in Chapter 15 and several others in this book in the 2nd wave of Chinese immigration to the U.S. This book was an excellent book - an easy read for anyone interested in the very different waves of Chinese immmigration to the U.S. and where we all ended up.
