The Singapore story : memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew

Visionary? Authoritarian? Model for the west? Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's longest-serving leader, is called this, and many more. In this fascinating memoir, Lee recalls the events leading up to Singapore's independence and outlines his struggle for success. And, as usual, he just let it all fall, Lee told an unforgettable Singapore story. He would be with Lee when he led the group against the colonial government, sharing tea and playing golf with important players from Britain and Malaya, and drinking hot Anchor beer with underground Communist leaders in a secret midnight meeting. From British colonialism to the Japanese occupation of World War II, communist uprisings, riots, independence – and subsequent struggles – few political memoirs anywhere have damaged, or contributed to, anyone interested in the political history of Singapore, Asia, and the modern world.
