 Book description- In December of 1937, Nanking was the site of one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarities. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city and within weeks not only looted and burned the city, but systematically raped, tortured, and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, at the time of the writing of this book, the Japanese government still denied this atrocity.

 From the ACU- We put this audio selection together in an attempt to better convey America's motivation and determined resolve to destroy the empire of Japan when called upon to do so. By 1940 Americans had no illusions as to the fate that would befall  U.S. cities that fell under the control of of the Japanese military. Secondly, it is an example of conduct and warfare of non-Christian  governments and military leaders that are not restrained by the belief that a God will hold them accountable for their treatment of others.
