Iris Chang's Errors in

'The Rape of Nanking

looking for truths in the sea of war-time propaganda

updated 04/01/2000

Iris Chang's "Rape of Nanking" is a book that fails to heal but rather sears all efforts for good international relations because it prioritizes passion at the cost of basic historical facts. We cannot ignore the book's inability and refusal, as witnessed by the usage of numerous doctored photos, to differentiate between fact and war-time propaganda.

We dedicate this site to all those who believe that constructive relations between nations and peoples should stem from an honest look at historical truths, not propaganda or twisting of historical materials for what appear to be political gains.
