Description

“Singapore the Ultimate Island: Lee Kuan Yew's untold story” is a document that will shock those who take for granted Singapore's continuing democratic status. The author treats his readers to a vivid word picture of Lee Kuan Yew's goals, policies and behaviour, and their impact on this tiny island nation. He produces anecdotal material linking Lee to other exceptional leaders and political operators, such as Napoleon or Machiavelli. From the work of the historian and the novelist he comes up with striking parallels. His method of penetrating behind Lee's autocracy is both effective and pertinent.

Published 1990.

Binding of book is intact. Slightly sunned covers with slight creasing, some foxing and moderate shelfwear. Sticker on back cover. Some tanning and moderate foxing on edges of book. Annotations in pen on inside of front cover. Heavy foxing on insides of covers. Few stains, slight creasing and some foxing on certain pages.
