Lee Kuan Yew is one of the most influential leaders in Asia. In this illuminating account, Lee writes frankly about his disapproving approach to political opponents and his often unorthodox views on human rights, democracy, and inherited intelligence, aiming always “to be correct, not politically correct.” Since it’s independence in 1965, tiny Singapore – once a poor and decrepit colony – has risen to become a rich and thriving Asian metropolis. From Third World to First is a fascinating and insightful account of Singapore’s survival from a history of oppressive colonialism, the Second World War and major poverty and disorder. Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility of world politics. Today Singapore boasts not only to have the busiest port of trade, best airport with the world’s number one airline, but also the world’s fourth-highest per capita real income? An Island hailed as the city of the future, Singapore’s miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but fearlessly forged ahead and brought about most of the changes. Lee highlights is relationships with his political peers from Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan to George Bush and poetry-spouting Jiang Zemin. Also a father of three Lee writes warmly of his family life. From Third World to First offers readers a compelling glimpse not only into the heart but also the mind of an incredibly influential man who is impossible to ignore in Asian and international politics.

评分This is the second memoir of Lee Kuan Yew, published in 2000. A fairly thick one, purchased from Amazon China (quite a surprise that they have it in store), but worth reading. Binding is not decent, however, the structure is clear and appealing to readers. ...

我感觉我最佩服李光耀的，不是敢做，而是敢说。
评分当时一出版就买了至今还存着。那时从头到尾通读一遍，对于这位睿智的星州国父是很拜服的。因为有家人因緣际会在星州落脚度过大半生，对星州及其領导人有一种不同的情結⋯

评分对于华人圈、东南亚、甚至后殖民时代来说都是一部珍贵的人类遗产。作为华文世界尤其是大陆的读者，感触最深的莫过于所谓仅用一代人的时间将一个第三世界国家破茧成蝶为一个发达国家（俺爹瞄见书名时对「First World」的说法存异议）的光辉功绩；再来就是第二部分百科全书式的 20 世纪中后期外交风云，是极罕见的能同时以一个「个人」角色投入到国际政治舞台的华人；贯穿始终的是做「正确」的事的胆识与魄力。我们早已习惯于那些在政坛人物过世时所冠以的类似于「远见卓识」之类的修饰，但在比较之下反而会觉得用在李光耀先生身上会色泽不够，他果真彻底无愧于华人之光的美誉。
评分一连四十载每年8-12%的GDP增长率背后的故事……比我想象中的要坎坷艰难很多。以前只知道新加坡是亚洲四小龙，觉得他们发展好主要原因就是人少好管。现在才知道，远没这么简单。李光耀的讲述视角独特，故事精彩，十分推荐！
