The book uses diaries collected by the Historical Society Library of Nashville as a source, supplements errata to the book of the Yale Theological Seminary, and selects diaries closely related to the events before and after the Nanjing Massacre. Then insert the letters, written articles, reports by Weitlin from Japan in diary order, reports of Japanese atrocities to the Japanese and U.S. embassies in Nanjing, and the U.S. diplomats on behalf of Weitling sent back from Nanjing to the United States Telegram. The letters, reports and diplomatic cables came from the Yale University Theological Seminary Library, the Nashville Council of Churches Historical Society Library and the U.S. National Archives II.
