Earlier English-language book(s) on Nanjing Massacre?

:"When [Iris Chang] searched the local public libraries in her school and found nothing, she wondered why no one had written a book about it."

Why doesn't this article mention Harold John Timperley's What War Means: The Japanese Terror in China (1938)? Chang's own book refers to it. Muzilon (talk) 05:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Quote in lead

@LilAhok per WP:MOSLEAD and MOS:QUOTE the quote doesn't belong in the lead. It has nothing to do with the book itself either, this is an article about a book not an article on the rape of Nanking. Traumnovelle (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Vocabulary in Lede

There is a disagreement in about the use of "perceived" in the lede. The word is dismissive and isn't used by the author or mentioned anywhere else in the article.

The same user used the same word in another article about the massacre. Pattern suggests it was a random, quick edit in the lead.
