"History of the Nanjing Massacre" is the Japanese version of "History of the Nanjing Massacre" edited by Professor Zhang Xianwen. Professor Zhang Xianwen and other historians have visited Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan and other countries for more than ten years. They have gone deep into archives and libraries of various countries. Based on mastering a large number of first-hand original documents and oral historical materials in Chinese and foreign languages, they have written a history of the Nanjing Massacre through painstaking research. They have conducted comprehensive research on the massacres, sexual atrocities, urban destruction and looting atrocities of the Japanese army in Nanjing, and clarified the Japanese army's atrocities during the fall of Nanjing. The historical facts of the military, economic and social control of the capital of the Nationalist Government demonstrate the humanitarian good deeds of the International Committee of the Nanjing Safety Zone in protecting and rescuing refugees, reproduce the reaction of the Chinese and foreign media and the international community to the atrocities of the Japanese army, disclose the post-war verdicts of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense Military Tribunal for Trial of War Criminals against Japanese war criminals, reveal the truth of history, and effectively refute the fallacy of the Japanese right wing that denies the historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre. This is a rigorous historical work that helps people correctly understand the Nanjing Massacre, a great human tragedy.

It records the historical facts of the Nanjing Massacre in detail, giving me a deeper understanding of that period of history. The research in the book is very rigorous, and the various evidences and information are convincing. Especially the testimonies of some survivors quoted in the book made me feel the tragedy and people's suffering at that time. This book is a reminder of history and a powerful refutation of the Japanese right-wing fallacies. I think everyone should read it to learn the real history.
