Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condizione: AS NEW COPY!. HISTORYLee Kuan Yew GCMG CH SPMJ DK, often referred to by his initials LKY, was a Singaporean statesman and lawyer who served as the first Prime Minister of Singapore from 1959 to 1990, and Secretary-General of the People's Action Party from 1954 to 1992.Presented in Q & A format, and enriched with strong contextual narrative, each chapter features Lee in full flow - sometimes combative, occasionally querulous, but always engaging. His views are articulated forcefully, with forays into history to buttress his point. To him, Singapore is a miracle that could disappear if not for exceptional leadership and safeguards. Here is Lee at 87, an unrepentant believer in strong government, in genes, and in the view that economics trumps freedoms. This book presents the politically incorrect Lee, often impatient and dismissive of those who criticise his worldview. He is not one for regrets. He does not recant. But there are moments when he looks back and thinks he could have done things differently or been more accommodating. Readers will gain insight into Lee's mind as he ruminates, argues, thinks aloud and rebuts.AS NEW COPY still in publisher's unopened wrap.pp. 458, illusts. First Edition.
