Chinese writer and translator Wang Jinling has finished translating American reporter Irving Wallace's documentary script "Japan's Mein Kampf," which gives a detailed account of Japan's aggression against China during World War II.

The script is based on Wallace's reporting in Japan and China in1940 and 1941 when he worked as an overseas correspondent for an American magazine. But the script was never published in the United States.

According to Wang, Wallace's script tells how Japan pursued its expansion overseas and intruded into northeast China. The script also has certain details about atrocities Japanese troops committed in the city of Nanjing on December 13, 1937, in which more than 300,000 Chinese were massacred.

Wang said the translation would be completed next year to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the world's victory over the Axis countries.

Wallace was born in Chicago, in the United States in 1916. In July 1940 he was sent to Japan as a correspondent and then to Shanghai and Nanjing to continue his report on the war.

Wallace died in 1990, and his son sent the document script of "Japan's Mein Kampf", which had been laid aside for some six decades, to Wang years ago at the latter's request.
