In Champions Day: The End of Old Shanghai, Dr. James Carter describes the many worlds of Shanghai on the eve of World War II, focusing on the city\\u2019s famed race track a few weeks before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.\\xa0\\xa0

In capturing the confluence of these three disparate, coexisting worlds on November 12, 1941, Professor Carter explores the multi-faceted history of old Shanghai and the various international influences, characters, and events that shaped the city\\u2019s evolution and its profound schisms.
