Title: Poorly written without strong arguement based on facts
Review: The Chinese in this book are all depicted as victims, people without agency; the Japanese are depicted solely as aggressors. As she adds a work to the growing body of victim studies, Chang never asks some of the most serious questions of all: How could so many hundreds of thousands of people have been slaughtered by so many fewer Japanese troops? While Chang offers third-rate pop psychology to analyze " the Japanese", she is curiousely silent on "the Chinese". This is a typical book journalists would write, not historians. Unfortunately, people like the former.
