La violación de Nanking

The Massacre at Nanking: A History of the Worst Atrocity in Modern History. In December 1937, the Japanese army entered Nanking, China's capital city, and over the next few weeks, they committed one of the most brutal massacres of the 20th century. The city was sacked, burned to the ground, and its civilians were systematically killed, tortured, and raped. Iris Chang, whose own family escaped this horror, has written a detailed account of the massacre from multiple perspectives: those of the Japanese soldiers, Chinese civilians, and foreign observers who refused to leave. Through interviews with survivors and newly declassified documents in four languages, Chang sheds light on this dark episode in history. Despite the sheer scale of the atrocities committed - over 300,000 civilians lost their lives - the Japanese government has consistently denied any wrongdoing. This lack of acknowledgment is seen by Chang as a second form of violence. This book provides a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most shameful episodes in modern history.
