In November 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army took Nanking (Nanjing), the capital of China, and began an orgy of murder, rape, and looting. The Rape of Nanking still causes international controversy, as Japanese politicians refuse to apologize explicitly to China and textbooks continue to misrepresent the events. John Rabe, head of the Nanjing branch of Siemens, stayed to organize a safety zone for Chinese civilians. The Good Man of Nanking is his firsthand account of these events and his efforts to save many lives. The diary format presents the power and immediacy of Rabe's experiences, including his humor, amid the chaos of war.
