challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

This book is absolutely worthwhile and excellently framed/organized, relying on primary sources from Chinese, Japanese, and European/American voices. HOWEVER, make sure you read/listen to it in a safe place because as you can imagine it is very emotionally challenging.

5.0

This is the hardest book l've ever read. It's sad I'm 24 years old and this is the first and only time l've heard of this. It's even more sad that the stories and crimes in this book aren't even unique. This is something that's happening in our world right now. We don't learn about our history any more and that's why it repeats itself...

challenging informative reflective sad fast-paced

She has obvious anti socialist biases, but she grew up in usa so that's expected. 

As long as you're aware of her bias, it's a good and informative book.

An incredibly brutal read but one that sheds light on an often forgotten/rarely taught time in history.
