Rape of Nanking : An Undeniable History in Photographs by James Yin (1997, Hardcover)

An Eternal Guilt for the Japanese Military and Monarchy

The 20th century is rife with genocides wrought against one group of people or another. This chapter in human barbarity doesn't get the coverage more well-known slaughters get; like the Holocaust, the killing of the Armenians in 1915, Cambodia, and Rwanda. This slaughter was perpetrated on captured people who were then subjected to mankind's worst impulses by the invading Japanese. The Chinese were killed horrifically simply for standing up to Japanese aggression. For that, their lives were deemed worthless. This book captures a 360-degree view of the carnage Japanese troops inflicted on Nanking. Many of the photographs were taken by proud Japanese officers and reporters who seemed to find nothing troubling or criminal about a supposedly professional army raping and pillaging its way across China.Read full review
