BOOKS DEDICATED TO IRIS CHANG

The Devil of Nanking
, a work of fiction by Mo Hayder (a British bestselling novelist), says, on the inside front page, “For Iris Chang, 1968-2004, whose bravery and scholarship first lifted the name of Nanking out of obscurity.”

The
New York Times
best-selling author Simon Winchester, in 2005, dedicated his book
A Crack in the Edge of The World
to Iris Chang by saying, on the inside front page, “With this book I both welcome into the world my first grandchild, Coco, and offer an admiring farewell to Iris Chang whose nobility, passion, and courage should serve as a model for all, writers and newborn alike.”
