This book presents a comprehensive overview of the Nanjing
Massacre, together with an in-depth analysis of various aspects of
the event and related issues. Drawing on original source materials
collected from various national archives, national libraries,
church historical society archives, and university libraries in
China, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom and the United States, it
represents the first English-language academic attempt to analyze
the Nanjing Massacre in such detail and scope. The book examines
massacres and other killings, in addition to other war crimes, such
as rape, looting, and burning. These atrocities are then explored
further via a historical analysis of Chinese survivors' testimony,
Japanese soldiers' diaries, Westerners' eyewitness accounts, the
news coverage from American and British correspondents, and
American, British and German diplomatic dispatches. Further, the
book explores issues such as the role and function of the
International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone, burial records of
massacre victims, post-war military tribunals, controversies over
the Nanjing Massacre, and the 100-Man Killing Contest. This book is
intended for all researchers, scholars, graduate and undergraduate
students, and members of the general public who are interested in
Second World War issues, Sino-Japanese conflicts, Sino-Japan
relations, war crimes, atrocity and holocaust studies, military
tribunals for war crimes, Japanese atrocities in China, and the
Nanjing Massacre.
