    It's True, It Happened, I Won't Be Silent

    This is a book I have been meaning to get for a long time. I lived near where the author went to end her life in a very untimely manner and at the time was suspicious over whether or not she had actually been murdered. First things first as I'm going in 10 different directions in my head at once: this book is I believe the first major compilation of the atrocities that really did happen in Nanjing in 1937. The authors family was originally from the area and it touched not just their lives but the lives of Chinese peoples as a whole as well as society in general and what we are willing to ignore, rationalize, allow or refuse to see. At this point in time only the lamest morons would try to debate the fact this happened in the capital of the ROC in 1937, but we have them too, look around at ...

    History that must not be ignored

    Although no one doubted that the Holocaust in Europe took place after the end of World War II due to the extensive documentation, recently there has been a small, but determined effort to deny that it took place. So far, that effort has been minor with little real altering of how it appears in history. There was another event that could be described by the term Holocaust, and it took place in China. In December of 1937, the Japanese army entered the Chinese capital city of Nanking. For approximately six weeks, the Japanese engaged in a brutal exercise where Chinese soldiers that had been captured were systematically executed, women were abused, sometimes to death and civilians were killed in some of the most brutal ways. Japanese soldiers held contests to see who could kill 100 Chinese ...

    Shocking and important

    this book is a non-fiction book about the rape of Nanking. it is full with graphic descriptions and is very informative. truely, this is not a book for the faint of heart, as Iris Chang prolongs the horrific descriptions of Japanese Army actions. the book is terrifying, sad and at parts unbelieveable. it is historically valuable, since not much has been written about the tragedy, although at times the writing seems too biased and antagonizing (inadequate in history writing, but I suppose it stems from the writer's ancestry, as she herself mentions in the predface). all in all, a good book for those who want to know more about one of WWII's most brutal war crimes.

    Awesome book

    This is my second copy of the book. It is one of the best books i evr read and it is wonderfully interesting. i just read about Iris passing away and i was stunned i just read about it i feel vry sorry for her family. It is a horrific part of history i had never heard of till i read her book. I also just purchased "the woman who could not forget" i look forward to reading both books. My thoughts and prayers go out to here family and esp. her young son he will miss having this wonderful women in his life. i thank her for bringing all this knowledge to me, and we lost a wonderful author and person.

    Historical account of Japanese invasion into China

    This book is one that should be required reading by every adult. Although the details may be too graphic and horrific for some people, this book delivers the facts by incorporating personal memories of Chinese victims and of Japanese Military soldiers, both groups providing eye witness accounts. This book also incorporates a few maps to give the reader a better understanding of what cities were attacked and shows the invasion of their forces into different cities. This book tells how the enemy (the Japanese) raped not only innocent citizens but also "raped" the country of China. The brutality of innocent Chinese civilians is an event we should never forget and this book reveals these facts that the Japanese Government would like the whole world to forget ever occurred. Read this book & ...
