Iris Chang is a wonderful writer. This book describes the many injustices done to the Chinese. It is written in a way that it honors the dead, those who tried to save lives, and to try rationalize why the Japanese did what they did. I read for a History class and was glad I did. I truly had no idea that another Holocaust happened and gets little to no press about it. If you want to read more about this war time tragedy, pick this book, but be prepared to be haunted by it long after you put it down.
