 Shudo Higashinakano , a professor of intellectual history at Asia University of Japan , argued in Sankei Shimbun that the book was " pure baloney " , that there was " no witness of illegal executions or murders " , and that " there existed no ' Rape of Nanking ' as alleged by the Tokyo Trial . " He identified 90 historical factual errors in the first 64 pages of the book , some of which were corrected in the 1998 Penguin Books edition .
