Sometimes we don’t feel like reading history books but mark my words, there are some books on Singaporean history which will definitely attract you. The languages of the books are so lucid that anyone can understand these properly.
Singapore Story: Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew is an interesting book written by Lee Kuan Yew. The publisher of the book is Times Editions & Singapore Press Holdings. The Singapore Story is the first volume of the memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew. He is the man who planted this island state firmly on the map of world. He was also Singapore’s Senior Minister. In intimate detail, Lee narrates the battles against colonialists, communists and communalists that led to Singapore’s independence. Don’t think that this book is all about politics. Lee brings the reader into his private life, with personal anecdotes, unusual directness, and the occasional touch of humor. The book is a substantial resource for historians and political analysts. The reason behind this is the book provides insights into national and international issues confronting the country and of the Senior Minister’s roles and awareness in and on the Malaysian period 1963-65.
From Third World to First: The Singapore Story 1965-2000, Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew is a book written by Lee Kuan Yew. This book is published by Times Editions & Singapore Press Holdings. This book continues the story of Singapore’s striking rise. Delving deep into his meticulous notes and previously unpublished papers and Cabinet records, Lee Kuan Yew details the unusual efforts it took for an island city-state in Southeast Asia to survive. Lee writes frankly about his distinct approach to political opponents and his often unorthodox views on human rights, democracy and hereditary intelligence. It offers readers an even more powerful mix of political insight and intrigue.
