This review is from: The Singapore Story: Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, Vol. 1 (Hardcover)
This is an easy to read yet informative and enlighteneing book, especially if you're interested in how good politics work. The story of how an English speaking Cambridge educated 'Straits Chinese' man who did even speak the local languages grew up through WWII to become the founder of a city/state is quite amazing and speaks highly of his drive and foresight. The book also provides a fascinating insight into the relationships between the Malays and Indonesians surrounding the tiny port-city/state of Singapore. Interesting to note, Mr. Lee is still in the background as Prime Minister 'mentor', to no less than his son, the current Prime Minister.
While some may argue that his government is not the totally free 'democratic' government of the idealists, it is difficult to argue the safety, security, economic progress and prosperity Singapore has enjoyed in the relatively short time of it's existence; and almost all due to the efforts and vision of one individual.
