A review by ciara_seesseas
The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang

5.0

This is the most shocking and disturbing piece of history I’ve ever read— and I studied German history… 

This has been out for years and I honestly avoided it. Anything that includes the r word tends to be too extreme for me and guarantees I’d be crying for days and will never forget what was written.

This is important history that many people don’t know about. I would implore you to read this book. If you can’t handle descriptive atrocities then I would recommend you look up what happened. 

“Almost all people have this potential for evil, which would be unleashed only under certain dangerous social circumstances.”
