Nanking Atrocity, 1937-1938 : Complicating the Picture (Asia-pacific Studies: Past and Present) -- Hardback

The Nanking Atrocity of winter 1937-8 lies at the core of bitter disputes over history, wartime victimization, and postwar restitution. This volume offers the scholarship about what actually happened in Nanking and places those findings in the context of how Chinese and Japanese writers have attributed mutually incompatible meanings to the event.
