Title: Good book..
Review: I rate this a four because as some reviewers have pointed there is some doubt about the actual numbers Ms. Chang used.From reading it, one could tell Ms. Chang was emotionally involved in the story. That can lead to some distortion.But the fact remains is the Japanese did commit large scale atrocities in Nanking. The attempts by a Japanese reviewer to dismiss that while calling US acts of war 'crimes" just highlights how warped some people's perceptions are.I recommend this book because it gives a reader an insight into how cruel the Japanese were. Too often in the West we only talk about the barbarism of the Nazis. The fact is the Japanese were extraordinarily cruel themselves. Unit 731, Nanking, Bataan Death March...the list is long of Japanese atrocities.Hiroshima and Nagasaki were suitable punishment for a nation that caused misery for countless persons.My only regret is that we could not have dropped one on Berlin.
