Produktbeschreibung
Honda, an investigative journalist for Asahi Shimbun, shows in pitiless detail the horrors of the Japanese Army's march to and seizure and capture of Nanjing in December 1937. Unvarnished accounts of the testimony -- of Chinese victims and Japanese perpetrators -- to the rape and slaughter are juxtaposed with public relations announcements of the Japanese Army as printed in various Japanese newspapers of the time. By recalling the testimony of Japanese soldiers and reporters who were on the scene, as well as reproducing dispatches by Japanese Army authorities at the time, Honda makes it clear that the atrocities were part of a studied effort directed by the Japanese high command to impress the Chinese people with the power of its army and the folly of resistance.
Based on four visits by the journalist author to China from 1971 to 1989. He details the horrors of the Japanese Army's seizure and capture of Nanjing in December 1937. The harrowing testimony of the Chinese victims and the Japanese perpetrators are juxtaposed with PR army announcements.
