Few gave tiny Singapore much chance of survival when it was granted independence in 1965 How is it then that today the former British colonial trading post is a thriving Asian metropolis with not only the world's number one airline best airport & busiest port of trade but also the world's fourth-highest per capita real income? The story of that transformation is told here by Singapore's charismatic controversial founding father Lee Kuan Yew Rising from a legacy of divisive colonialism the devastation of the Second World War & general poverty & disorder following the withdrawal of foreign forces Singapore now is hailed as a city of the future This miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but who fearlessly forged ahead & brought about most of these changes Delving deep into his own meticulous notes as well as previously unpublished government papers & official records Lee details the extraordinary efforts it took for an island city-state in Southeast Asia to survive at that time Lee explains how he & his cabinet colleagues finished off the communist threat to the fledgling state's security & began the arduous process of nation building forging basic infrastructural roads through a land that still consisted primarily of swamps creating an army from a hitherto racially & ideologically divided population stamping out the last vestiges of colonial-era corruption providing mass public housing & establishing a national airline & airport In this illuminating account Lee writes frankly about his trenchant approach to political opponents & his often unorthodox views on human rights democracy & inherited intelligence aiming always to be correct not politically correct Nothing in Singapore escaped his watchful eye whether choosing shrubs for the greening of the country restoring the romance of the historic Raffles Hotel or openly unabashedly persuading young men to marry women as well educated as themselves Today's safe tidy Singapore bears Lee's unmistakable stamp for which he is unapologetic If this is a nanny state I am proud to have fostered one Though Lee's domestic canvas in Singapore was small his vigor & talent assured him a larger place in world affairs With inimitable style he brings history to life with cogent analyses of some of the greatest strategic issues of recent times & reveals how over the years he navigated the shifting tides of relations among America China & Taiwan acting as confidant sounding board & messenger for them He also
