Following Facing History's guiding scope and sequence, and including a foreword by Benjamin Ferencz, a war crimes prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, this resource lays a broad framework and contains an in-depth examination of the war crimes known today as the Nanjing Atrocities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book begins by exploring the impact of imperialism in East Asia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the rise of nationalism and militarism, and how these developments affected the complexity of nation building efforts in China and Japan. It addresses the brutality of war and the crimes committed in Nanjing through an examination of the choices made by leaders, soldiers, and witnesses. The history is presented through firsthand accounts and perspectives from survivors and foreigners living in Nanjing during the Japanese occupation. When examining the aftermath and legacy of the war in China, readers are asked to consider the importance of justice and memory, issues still relevant today as nations in East Asia continue to wrestle with how to remember, teach, and understand the Nanjing Atrocities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Nanjing Atrocities: Crimes of War\u003c\/em\u003e is an invaluable resource for educators and students of history seeking an overview of World War II in East Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11284198\"\u003eFacing History and Ourselves\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Facing History \u0026amp; Ourselves National Foundatio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940457055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194045705X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS003000\"\u003eAsia | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Facing History \u0026 Ourselves National Foundatio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44529964417261,"sku":"9781940457055","price":23.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_7966cd54-28d6-48b7-ba28-4c589937d49a.jpg?v=1701402124","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-nanjing-atrocities-crimes-of-war-9781940457055","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
