Description:
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 snapshotof 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.

Good shirt, but not perfect
I have bought three of these shirts. They fit well, look good, good value for the price, don't wrinkle easily. The fabric is VERY heavy and does not breathe well, so they are better suited for winter than summer wear. The placket tends to bunch up when you're seated, so wearing an undershirt can be helpful.
The only thing I'd change about it is the fastener on top would be better as a standard button, or be fastened closer to the shirt. When worn buttoned-up, there's enough room between the two halves of the shirt that one side folds down and there's an unnecessary collar gap that doesn't look great. When worn unbuttoned, the fastener dangles (which again, doesn't look great). The shirt also doesn't have collar stays, so the collar can roll up.

Favorite Shirt
Color: All White, Size: X-Large
Love these shirts! I like how sleek they look with hidden buttons and no pockets. I plan to order other colors. Great for travel because they wrinkle very little. Comfortable and true to size.
