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 Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility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.
高中时就拜读了这本书,觉得写的实在是好,但又很不解,为什么其中与中国有关的这么少,后来读了原版才知道其中有大量删节,所以有机会还是找本原版来看吧,还有一点,读完后不要盲目崇拜,既然是李光耀自己写的回忆录,同时他仍在新加坡政坛发挥着举足轻重的作用,所以他必定...
評分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. ...

評分《李光耀回忆录》看完了,豆瓣8.8分。作为一个广东祖籍的华裔外国领导人,李光耀身上有着太多中国人想要对外表达,而又没人相信的权利。中国人讲外来的和尚好念经,而李光耀恰恰就是中国人群体中那个外来的和尚,话从他嘴里说出来,比从我们嘴里说出来更容易让西方相信。 李光...
評分"On that 9th day of August 1965, I had started out with great trepidation on a journey along an unmarked road to an unknown destination." 四十年前,李光耀也不知道新加坡成为今天这个样子。 昨天和今天,我们也不知道中国未来会变成什么样子一样。三十年后,希望我...
一個反共頭子被中共吹來吹去還吹逼成長者,意識形態不重要臘?
评分真特瑪厚。。。現在寫書評跟論文似的 動不動就快一韆字
评分一個反共頭子被中共吹來吹去還吹逼成長者,意識形態不重要臘?
评分一連四十載每年8-12%的GDP增長率背後的故事……比我想象中的要坎坷艱難很多。以前隻知道新加坡是亞洲四小龍,覺得他們發展好主要原因就是人少好管。現在纔知道,遠沒這麼簡單。李光耀的講述視角獨特,故事精彩,十分推薦!
