Lest We Forget : Nanjing Massacre, 1937

In December 1937, the invading Japanese troops seized Nanjing without meeting substantial resistance. The city was sacked, with soldiers committing arson, murder, looting, and rape over more than six weeks. Innocent people were marched away to be massacred; the shore of the Yangtze River was strewn with corpses and the river dyed red with blood as over 300,000 people perished. This book recounts this brutal holocaust with evocative and moving accounts, eyewitness testimonies, news reports, confessions, court documents, and photographs.
