a valuable account of a little known event... a grim reminder of
the darker side of war.
*Military History Matters (Reviewer)*
Nanjing 1937 offers a detailed account of the campaign illustrated
with numerous useful maps. It presents a point of view which most
readers will not have encountered before. It’s well worth a
read.
*Asian Review of Books 19/02/2016*
Outstanding... Balanced, analytical and level-headed account
emphasizing the military aspect... 'Nanjing 1937' is a formidably
researched book, and Harmsen's dramatic narrative style makes the
reader feel part of the events."
