On December 13, 1937, Japanese troops captured China's former
capital, Nanjing. The events that followed became known as the Rape
of Nanking, or the Nanjing Massacre, which, with its magnitude and
brutality, shocked the civilized world. Mass executions, rampant
raping, wholesale looting, and widespread burning went on for
weeks. After the worst of the atrocities was over, three American
diplomats were allowed to return to the fallen city on January 6,
1938. Three days later, British Consul Humphrey Ingelram
Prideaux-Brune, Military Attache William Alexander Lovat-Fraser,
and Air Attache J. S. Walser, along with German diplomats, arrived
in Nanjing on the HMS Cricket to reopen the British Embassy. The
British diplomats continuously sent out dispatches reporting local
conditions before and after their arrival. These documents form a
consistent and reliable record of the massacre, its aftermath, and
the general social conditions in the months that followed. This
book contains a collection of British diplomatic documents, Royal
Navy reports of proceedings, and US naval intelligence reports. A
Dark Page in History examines these newly unearthed documents that
enhance our knowledge and understanding of the scope and depth of
the tragedy in Nanjing.
