	Review of The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II
		The Rape of Nanking In December, 1937, the Chinese army abandoned Nanking (Nanjing), the Nationalist capital, and the Japanese army occupied the city without a fight.
		The notorious "Rape of Nanking" that immediately ensued began as a wholesale murder of Chinese prisoners of war and civilian men on pretext that they were fleeing soldiers who had discarded their uniforms.
		Yet the Rape of Nanking was not committed by impersonal or distant perpetrators, nor was its intent genocidal.

	The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II Abstract: Documents Japanese atrocities in World War II that caused even the Nazi's to object.
		Some commentators on this book have noted that one of the "heros" of the resistance to the Japanese massacre at Nanking was a Nazi businessman named John Rabe, and have drawn the false conclusion that the book is an attempt to white-wash the sins of the German National Socialist Party.
		By illustrating the obvious rewriting of history by the Japanese government educational establishment, the book serves as an example of why central control of the educational curriculum is dangerous to any free society.

	Book Review: The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang
		While the events described in her book can be said to be historically significant, for Chang to write that her editor "recognized the historical significance of this book (The Rape of Nanking)" is sheer nonsense and self-indulgent.
		Her comment about the book being poorly footnoted is questionable and arrogant in that it is very likely that she read only the first chapter on the rape of Nanking and skipped the next 1100 pages.
		For the purpose of telling her side of the story of what happened at Nanking in 1937-8, there is a great deal in the book worth salvaging and some areas that require major surgery.

	The Rape of Nanking (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II (ISBN 0-465-06835-9) is a 1997 non-fiction book by Iris Chang, which presents a popular history of the 1937-1938 Nanjing Massacre.
		In a best-selling book published in Japan in 1999, "Za Reipu obu Nankin no Kenkyu" (Study of "The Rape of Nanking"), co-written by Fujioka Nobukatsu and Higashinakano Shudo, the photographs contained in Chang's book are subjected to intense criticism, with the authors concluding that none of the photographs constitute evidence of the incident.

	Iris Chang's Books - The Official Iris Chang Website
		China has endured much hardship in its history, as Iris Chang shows in her ably researched The Rape of Nanking, a book that recounts the horrible events in that eastern Chinese city under Japanese occupation in the late 1930s.
		Nanking, she writes, served as a kind of laboratory in which Japanese soldiers were taught to slaughter unarmed, unresisting civilians, as they would later do throughout Asia.
		A sensitive, deeply moving story of individuals whose lives have shaped and been shaped by this history, The Chinese in America is a saga of raw human tenacity and a testament to the determination of a people to forge an identity and destiny in a strange land.

	CNN - Cont.: Japanese denial and 'The Rape of Nanking' - May 25, 1999
		Also, when a Chinese feature film on the Rape of Nanking was shown in Japanese theaters a few months ago, right-wingers harassed theater owners, slashed up movie screens with knives and even smashed a loudspeaker truck through theater gates.
		He told Playboy magazine back in 1990 that the Rape of Nanking was a "lie" and "a story made up by the Chinese." He's enormously popular in Japan, and he won the election by a landslide.
		One scholar who was using "The Rape of Nanking" as a textbook at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government told me that when he introduced the topic to his Japanese students -- mostly diplomats -- they had no idea what he was talking about.

		Nonetheless, I think that this book gave a very clear view of one of the saddest event ever happened in human history in a way that can be understood by general public.
		This book is not by a professional historian, but by a non fiction "populizer".
		First, Iris Chang is a Chinese American who was born and educated in the U.S. This book was written and published only in U.S. So it's ridiculous to call her as "a victim of forced censorship and a pawn of the Communist propaganda machine".

		As I understand it, her depression stemmed from the research she did for this book, although of course one must beware of oversimplification in matters such as these.
		I think if you read my post again, you'll see that I was referring to Chang's suicide and the depression brought on by her research and warning against oversimplification of the causes of her depression, not oversimplification of the matters covered in her book.
		I had hoped that, given your intense reaction to the book, my post would lead you to other matters that would also be of interest to you.
