A review by samahsolimann
The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II by Iris Chang

2.5

I find it highly strage (also read, suspicious) that a book chronicling such a massacre seems to focus more on the "heroic acts" and fates of white foreigners than on the actaul victims.

Apart from taking a white saviourist narrative, it was a very decent book.


Also, if you read R. F. Kuang's The Poppy War trilogy, you'd appreciate this background information even more.
