This is Jocco Podcast number 60 with Echo Charles and me, Jocco Willink. Good evening echo.

Good evening.

What I am about to relate is anything but a pleasant story. In fact, it is so very unpleasant

that I cannot recommend anyone without a strong stomach to read it. For it is a story of such crime and horror as to almost be unbelievable.

The story of depredations of a horde of degraded criminals of incredible beastiality on a peaceful, kindly law-abiding people.

I believe it has no parallel in modern history.

And that is a warning that was written by a man by the name of George Fitch who was an American in the city of Nanking China.

He was working for the YMCA in 1937 when the Imperial Japanese Army invaded.

And I am going to tell you that that warning is not strong enough.

And I know that many of you listen to this podcast with your children.

And I am going to tell you right now this podcast, this episode is not for children.

This episode is barely even for adults.

And I'm sure that some of you will not make it through this podcast.

And I almost decided not to do it.

This podcast, this episode is going to review a book called The Rape of Nanking by an author by the name of Iris Chang.

And part of the reason that I decided that I had to cover this book is because of the story that follows the story.

And that is of Iris Chang, the author, a bright, beautiful, intelligent, successful, and loving woman who was consumed by darkness.

And I will discuss her fate in a book that was written by her mother, Ying Ying Chang, in a book called The Woman Who Could Not Forget.

And what happened in the city of Nanking is it is beyond darkness. It is beyond evil.

It is pure savagery, wanton savagery of the highest order.

And part of me thinks maybe it's best if it is forgotten.

Maybe that's the best way to prevent it from happening again.
