Preface -- Japanese Military Expansion -- The Road to Nanjing -- Brutality Following the Fall of Nanjing: Large-Scale Massacres -- Small-Scale Mass Executions and Individual Killings -- Raping, Looting, and Burning -- Testimonies by Chinese Survivors and Witnesses -- Japanese Soldiers' Accounts -- International Committee for Nanjing Safety Zone and Westerners in Nanjing -- Media Coverage in English, Chinese and Japanese -- American, British, and German Diplomatic Documents -- Disposing of Victim Bodies -- Post-War Military Tribunals -- Controversies over the Nanjing Massacre -- The 100-Man Killing Contest and Controversies -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the Nanjing Massacre, together with an in-depth analysis of various aspects of the event and related issues. Drawing on original source materials collected from various national archives, national libraries, church historical society archives, and university libraries in China, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom and the United States, it represents the first English-language academic attempt to analyze the Nanjing Massacre in such detail and scope. The book examines massacres and other killings, in addition to other war crimes, such as rape, looting, and burning. These atrocities are then explored further via a historical analysis of Chinese survivors' testimony, Japanese soldiers' diaries, Westerners' eyewitness accounts, the news coverage from American and British correspondents, and American, British and German diplomatic dispatches. Further, the book explores issues such as the role and function of the International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone, burial records of massacre victims, post-war military tribunals, controversies over the Nanjing Massacre, and the 100-Man Killing Contest. This book is intended for all researchers, scholars, graduate and undergraduate students, and members of the general public who are interested in Second World War issues, Sino-Japanese conflicts, Sino-Japan relations, war crimes, atrocity and holocaust studies, military tribunals for war crimes, Japanese atrocities in China, and the Nanjing Massacre.
