Product Description:
Visionary? Authoritarian? Model for the West? Lee Kuan Yew, the long-time leader of Singapore, has been called all these things, and more. In these vivid memoirs, Lee takes a profoundly personal look back at the events that led to Singapore's independence and shaped its struggle for success. And, as always, he lets the chips fall where they may.In intimate detail, Lee recounts Singapore's unforgettable history. You'll be with Lee as he leads striking unionists against the colonial government; shares tea and rounds of golf with key players in Britain and Malaya; and drinks warm Anchor beer with leaders of the communist underground at secret midnight meetings. From British colonial rule through Japanese occupation in World War II, Communist insurrection, riots, independence -- and the struggles that followed -- few political memoirs anywhere have been this blunt, or this fascinating.Anyone interested in the political history of Singapore, Asia, and the modern world.

- Insightful!
Mr Lee Kuan Yew - or LKY - as he is fondly referred to by both admirers and critics, has been a controversial figure as easily discernible in the oxymoronic titles he is often given, such as "benevolent dictator" and "enlightened despot". But to call him such names without heavy qualification is to utter a painful half-truth.
"The Singapore Story: Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew" aptly displays the range of LKY's sensitivity, insight, and wisdom harvested not only from his personal experience ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding
This is simply the most amazing and interesting biography, i have ever read. What makes Lee's narrative interesting are his crisp observations supported by official British documents made public after 35 years.
Rating:
- Part One of Two Volumes
This volume is childhood up to Singapore's dumping by Malaysia.
Rating: - FORTHRIGHT! COURAGEOUS!! CONSCIENTIOUS!!!
Reading Lee Kuan Yew's "The Singapore Story" is analogous to swimming in an ocean of enlightenment. It is a unique piece of writing. Candid and down-to-earth, Mr. Yew's memoirs showed that courage, faith, hope, and perseverance are not only enough to transform a man, but an entire nation. Singapore's victories over colonialism and communism showcased this fact. I no longer wonder why Presidents, Prime Ministers, and other top-notchers find this book irresistible.
Rating: - Gripping tale
A simple and concise history of the nation-state, my original home. A handbook for building a nation-state, or any other
multi-cultural organization. In this volume, LKY provides insight into his decision making, but does not spend much time reflecting upon his deepest motivations/expectations. The rationalizations are kept on an even-keel, and the text has a bit of a grade-school history text feel to it.
I'm looking forward to the 2nd volume. It would probably be too much for LKY to ... Read More
