Description

This facsimile edition of Alex Josey’s Lee Kuan Yew: The Crucial Years (1968) collects Lee Kuan Yew’s political writings and speeches from his student days at Cambridge through the late 1960s. The volume places Lee’s leadership in the context of Singapore’s emergence as an independent, multiracial nation and discusses challenges faced by developing states. The text ends around 1970, as Singapore faced the prospect of British troop withdrawals in 1971 and the need to build a credible defence force.
