... Iris Chang authored a New York Times Bestseller on the matter, entitled The Rape of Nanking. ... By 1937, the Japanese had swallowed up nearly all of coastal China and had set their sights on Nanking, the ancient capital of China’s great dynasties. ... Iris Chang, deeply touched by the pain and suffering of the innocent, wrote The Rape of Nanking in order to assure that future generations would never forget one of the darkest moments in history. ... In spite of Chang’s research, many today still deny that the rape of Nanking ever occurred. ...
Chang knew that the rape of Nanking was an extremely sensitive issue. She knew that many people continued to believe the Rape never occurred; consequently, she wrote her version of the events with the aid of independent third party sources. ... Chang incorporated diary entries from a Nazi official in Nanking, John Rabe, an American surgeon, Robert Wilson, and an American educator, Wilhelmina Vautrin. These diary entries shed light on the carnage the Japanese reaped on Nanking. ... I could go on for pages telling of cases of rape and brutality almost beyond belief(126). ...
These are just a few of the third party accounts Iris Chang used to validate claims that the Rape did indeed occur.
