From Third World to first

This book recounts the miraculous transformation of Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew's leadership.

Rising from a legacy of colonialism, World War II devastation, and post-war poverty, Singapore became a modern city-state.

The book delves into Lee's meticulous notes, government papers, and official records to detail the efforts in nation-building, including creating an army, stamping out corruption, providing public housing, and establishing a national airline.

It also covers his foreign policy and interactions with global leaders, as well as his personal life and family.
