Özet

In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

The Rape of Nanking tells the story from three perspectives: that of the Japanese soldiers who performed it; of the Chinese civilians who endured it; and finally of a group of Europeans and Americans who refused to abandon the city and were able to create a safety zone that saved almost 300,000 Chinese. It was Iris Chang who discovered the diaries of the German leader of this rescue effort, John Rabe, whom she calls the "Oskar Schindler of China." A loyal supporter of Adolf Hitler, but far from the terror planned in his Nazi-controlled homeland, he worked tirelessly to save the innocent from slaughter.

Well written, compelling and terrifying. this book should be essentail reading for everyone. It shows both the best and worst of human nature and gives a valuable insight into hate, propoganda and government misuse of power.

the best and the worst of human beings

We’ve all heard about how gruesome war can be but this has to be the most macabre book I’ve read about history. What the Nazi did to the Jews would be considered mercy companed to the grotesque atrocities the Japnese inflicted on the chinese in World War II on innocent civilians.

I still see the same thing nowadays where people are scared to speak their mind or the truth because they are scared of the consequence. This is how evil grows little by little till it becomes monstrous.

This is very far from the easiest of listens but if you persevere you will be rewarded with an apparently credible and knowledgeable account of a 20th Century episode as yet woefully disregarded, at least in English language history books.

Harrowing but ultimately worthwhile

Good to read in the context of 20 years of economic and geopolitical change in the region.

heartbreaking and compelling

The Rape of Nanking is quite frankly the most appalling collections of barbaric acts in recorded history. The tales related within this outstanding book range from truly disturbing to outright disgusting. It describes the act of an unrestrained army, conditioned to believe that they were superior in every way to those beneath them.

As an intellectual exercise this book is something that everyone should read at some point in their lives. Such a poorly known area of WW2 deserves its place in history.

The narration is excellent, the delivery is perfect for a tome of this nature.
