The Good Man of Nanking: The Diaries of John Rabe is a collection of the personal journals of John Rabe, a German businessman who lived in Nanjing at the time of the Nanking Massacre in 1937–1938. The book contains the diaries that Rabe kept during the Nanking Massacre, writing from his personal experience and observation of the events that took place. Rabe's diaries were made known and quoted by author Iris Chang during the research for her book, The Rape of Nanking;[1] they were subsequently translated from German to English by John E. Wood and published in the United States in 1998.
