Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore Story & From Third World to First The Singapore Story: 1965-2000 (Two-Volume Boxed Set)

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. 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.
