I just learned of some sad news today. Noted author Iris Chang is dead. Chang was the author of the acclaimed book, The Rape of Nanking, which chronicled the often forgotten and brutle massacre of nearly 300,000 Chinese civilians during World War II at the hands of the Japanese army. Chang died of an apparant self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was only 36 years old. Here’s a story from the San Francisco Gate.
