Through a series of deeply considered and empirically rigorous essays, it provides a far more complex and nuanced perspective than that found in works like Iris Chang's bestselling \u003cem\u003eThe Rape of Nanking\u003c\/em\u003e. It systematically reveals the flaws and exaggerations in Chang's book while deflating the self-exculpatory narratives that persist in Japan even today. This second edition includes an extensive new introduction by the editor reflecting on the historiographical developments of the last decade, in advance of the 80th anniversary of the massacre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWakabayashi, Bob Tadashi:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBob Tadashi Wakabayashi\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of History at York University, Toronto.
