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 Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility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.

读后感
"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...
评分有人是这样评价李光耀的，让他管理新加坡，太屈才了。 这本书中，有这样一段描写，让人印象深刻。 李光耀说，每次他的车行至小学，正好放学，学生从学校中涌出，他总是忧心忡忡，因为他不知道，这些小孩在独立以后的新加坡，是否能有工作，过上体面的生活。 不管后人怎样评...
评分《李光耀回忆录：经济腾飞路》读后感 新加坡，这个城市国家仅用了短短60年的时间，就从一个第三世界国家能够快速跻身于第一世界，究竟依靠的是什么？是外在的力量（即邻国基于双赢的经济发展上的合作、前殖民国家的大力帮助）扮演的角色更重要，还是内在的力量（即新加坡人民自...
评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...
评分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. ...

评分极真实的从一个侧面反映中国七十年代初到九十年代末中国三代领导人的品格特性.
评分一连四十载每年8-12%的GDP增长率背后的故事……比我想象中的要坎坷艰难很多。以前只知道新加坡是亚洲四小龙，觉得他们发展好主要原因就是人少好管。现在才知道，远没这么简单。李光耀的讲述视角独特，故事精彩，十分推荐！
评分对于华人圈、东南亚、甚至后殖民时代来说都是一部珍贵的人类遗产。作为华文世界尤其是大陆的读者，感触最深的莫过于所谓仅用一代人的时间将一个第三世界国家破茧成蝶为一个发达国家（俺爹瞄见书名时对「First World」的说法存异议）的光辉功绩；再来就是第二部分百科全书式的 20 世纪中后期外交风云，是极罕见的能同时以一个「个人」角色投入到国际政治舞台的华人；贯穿始终的是做「正确」的事的胆识与魄力。我们早已习惯于那些在政坛人物过世时所冠以的类似于「远见卓识」之类的修饰，但在比较之下反而会觉得用在李光耀先生身上会色泽不够，他果真彻底无愧于华人之光的美誉。
评分真特玛厚。。。现在写书评跟论文似的 动不动就快一千字
