Iris Chang had published three books in her short yet brilliant writing career. Her international bestselling book, The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II, was published in 1997, examines one of the most tragic chapters of World War II: the slaughter, gang rape, and torture of hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians by Japanese soldiers in the former capital of China in 1937.
