British journalist Timberlake, who had witnessed the Nanjing Massacre, said: "After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, there were very few records in Japanese newspapers, or it could be said that there were almost no records. Looking through the English newspapers published in Japan, there was no trace of the various atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing and other cities. The Japanese newspapers wanted to whitewash Nanjing into a peaceful place." He once drafted the atrocities of the Japanese army he saw and heard into a pickaxe and sent it to the Munches Herald, but was unexpectedly detained by the Japanese. Later, he decided to collect further documentary evidence to prove the authenticity of the pickaxe. When he obtained many solid evidence based on the documents and communications of the International Committee of the Nanjing Safety Zone, as well as personal diaries and letters, he "found that the situation was tragic and unexpected," so he wrote this book to make the facts public. This book reports to the world for the first time the truth about the massacre caused by the Japanese army in Nanjing, and denounces the Japanese army for creating "an unprecedented record of cruelty in modern history."
