Lee Kuan Yew presided over the transformation of Singapore
from a fractious and squalid colonial backwater into one of
the shining jewels of Asia. In less than half a century,
through complex and ingenious economic and social
engineering, Singapore has melded a multi-ethnic,
multi-racial population into a thriving, safe and incredibly
productive society that boasts the world's #1 airline, the
busiest maritime port, nearly nonexistent unemployment, and
a lower infant mortality rate than the United States. In
this highly anticipated volume that chronicles the social
and economic triumphs that made headlines around the world,
Lee Kuan Yew reveals the strategies that made him one of the
world's most powerful elder statesmen, and takes a hard look
at the burgeoning economic and political might of China and
its portents for the future.
