Title: It took a journalist...
Review: When dealing with Japan, everything is essentially political. Or rather the Japanese have made it so. So it seems it took a journalist, rather than a historian, to break the perplexing silence concerning one of this centuryfs greatest crimes: the Rape of Nanking and its subsequent neglect.For the uninitiated, this book marks a great wake up call to the atrocities visited upon the people of China by the Japanese Imperial Army. Chang hits on all the main points: the pure evil, the Emperor's involvement, and the current Japanese unwillingness to fess up and pay up. If you are looking for a good introduction to this issue, I heartily recommend it. If you want more data and less passion, I don't.
