Review of 'The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I can't say this was enjoyable reading, but it was certainly shocking. It's a part of history that we should know about. In December of 1937, Nanking, China, fell to the Japanese. This book is a history of what the Japanese army did to the people of Nanking and how it still affects Chinese-Japanese relations. The Chinese people suffered hard and long during WWII, long before the US was involved.
