This abridged audiobook is just over 3 hours. It is great for those who have never taken the time to study the rape of Nanking but are interested to know about one of the worst atrocities the human race has ever seen. Please take the time to listen to this short audiobook about the war crime which is largely forgotten and even until today denied in Japan. Germans have paid at least 60 billion dollars in compensation and through other forms to acknowledge and repent for what they had done in WW2, while Japan has not paid anything and does not even acknowledge the level of criminality which their army perpetrated on the world.
