The Rape of Nanking

---

The Rape of Nanking tells the story from three perspectives: that of the Japanese soldiers; that of the Chinese; and that of a group of Westerners who refused to abandon the city and created a safety zone which saved almost 300,000 Chinese. Among the heroes was the German John Rabe, A Nazi, whose diaries Chang discovered and whom she calls the 'Oskar Schindler of China'. More that just narrating the details of an orgy of violence, The Rape of Nanking analyses the militaristic culture that fostered in the Japanese soldiers a total disregarded for human life. It also tells of the concerted effort during the Cold War on the part of the West and even China to stifle open discussion of this atrocity.
