knlipke's review against another edition

It has nothing to do with how the book was written!!!! I found myself disgusted with the very true, real life events that happened to these poor people of Nanking that I couldn’t read on for the sake of my mental health. I will pick it up again one day

Extremely well-written. VERY intense and heartbreaking. Trigger warnings galore, but worth the read.

Don't read this if you're easily upset by the worst things humans can do to other humans. 40,000 to 300,000 civilians murdered in SIX WEEKS and in a manner that would make the directors of gore films blush.

4.0

...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.
