Japanese Invasion of Nanking, China

Dayna's mom and step-father gave me the book, Flyboys, for Christmas.  It's a fascinating read (particularly the first five chapters).  The author discusses much of the Nanking holocaust in the first few chapters.  Personally, this was a portion of history that I rarely received any formal education about.  It's a tragic bit of history about the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China and the subsequent brutality that followed upon the civilian population.  As a result, China, along with the Soviet Union, actually suffered more civilian deaths than military deaths.  This episode in history, commonly referred to as the Rape of Nanking (warning:explicit photos), is a very sad story of human rage against another culture.
