"Biography of a Wartime Historical Figure Who Saved Over 200,000 Chinese Lives
拯救20多万中国人生命 抗战历史人物传记
John Rabe and China presents the comprehensive story of John Rabe's three decades in China and the enduring bond between the Rabe family and the Chinese people, drawing on Rabe's original diary manuscripts and authorized documents provided by his relatives. As both a witness to the Nanjing Massacre and a protector of refugees, Rabe's diaries are universally recognized as crucial historical records of the atrocity. This book, edited by his grandson Thomas Rabe-a recipient of the Chinese Government's Friendship Award-not only documents the Nanjing Massacre from multiple perspectives but also reveals the intellectual and emotional motivations behind Rabe's heroic actions during that period.
