520    "A triptych of a single day revealing the history and 
       foreshadowing the future of a complex and cosmopolitan 
       city in a world at war. November 12, 1941: war and 
       revolution are in the air. At the Shanghai Race Club, the 
       city's elite prepare to face off their best horses and 
       most nimble jockeys in the annual Champions Day races. 
       Across town and amid tight security, others celebrated the
       birth of Sun Yat-Sen in a new city center meant to 
       challenge European imperialism. Thousands more Shanghai 
       residents from all walks of life attended the funeral of 
       China's wealthiest woman, the Chinese-French widow of a 
       Baghdadi Jewish businessman. But the biggest crowd of all 
       gathered at the track; no one knew it, but Champions Day 
       heralded the end of a European Shanghai. Through this 
       colorful snapshot of the day's events, the rich and 
       complex history that led to them, and a cast of characters
       as diverse as the city itself, James Carter provides a 
       kaleidoscopic portrait of a time and a place that still 
       speaks to relations between China and the West today"--
