So I take it from your comments that the debate is not about the event itself but how it should be viewed over time? or what it says about the culture in which it happened?

More or less. For example, noone in the thread....not me, not Terminus, not anyone denies that Nanking happened.

So did Chang's book discuss why such atrocities might have occured? I'm just curious myself. I have not read any book specifically on the subject but IIRC, part of the source of Japan's ire was that the Chinese put up such stiff resistence in Nanking that it frustrated the IJA to no end. I have read similar accounts, like in the DEI, where staunch resistence by Allied forces was seen as a personal front and an embarrasment to Japanese forces. It seems that the Japanese would then take out that frustration on whatever civilian population, or defenders were left. Many instances of "Japanese war crimes" seemed to occur after such resistence. Bataan, Guam, Java (or was it Sumatra), Nanking all fall into that category.

Currently snowing here and we are going to get another 3" to 5" today to add to the almost 3 feet we got during the last couple of weeks.

That's it, I'm imigrating to Australia. [:D]
