The woman who could not forget : Iris Chang before and beyond The rape of Nanking

Iris Chang's thoroughly researched book, The rape of Nanking: the forgotten Holocaust of World War II, is considered to be the definitive work on the invasion of the Japanese Army in 1937 into Nanking, and all the devastation that followed. Ying-Ying Chang, Iris' mother, examines the toll the investigations, personal interviews, and research took on Iris Chang, and perhaps drove her to suicide.
