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 Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility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.
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. ...
評分读了李光耀自传的另外一个感受,就是中文版的文字真好。我自认为中文不算坏,用词力求准确生动,承转起合,赋比兴之类也讲求一些,就说是粗通文墨吧,这回真是有一些惊喜。 说下我认为好的中文,其一是我爸。我爸小时念过解放前的私塾,写得一手好颜体,他写的东西不多,有为我...
評分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...

评分One of the men I respect most In history!
评分治國的教科書,新加坡能有今天,離不開李總理的保姆式管理。
评分極真實的從一個側麵反映中國七十年代初到九十年代末中國三代領導人的品格特性.
