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 Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility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
想要了解新加坡的前世今生，就一定要看《李光耀回忆录》；因为新加坡的繁荣，和“李光耀”这个名字密不可分。 《李光耀回忆录 1923 - 1965》主要讲述了新马分家的故事，新加坡如何历尽千辛并入马来西亚，结果因与马来西亚领导人持不同国家发展政见，不得不宣布独立。 《李光耀...
评分 评分"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》看完了，豆瓣8.8分。作为一个广东祖籍的华裔外国领导人，李光耀身上有着太多中国人想要对外表达，而又没人相信的权利。中国人讲外来的和尚好念经，而李光耀恰恰就是中国人群体中那个外来的和尚，话从他嘴里说出来，比从我们嘴里说出来更容易让西方相信。 李光...
用户评价
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.
评分当时一出版就买了至今还存着。那时从头到尾通读一遍，对于这位睿智的星州国父是很拜服的。因为有家人因緣际会在星州落脚度过大半生，对星州及其領导人有一种不同的情結⋯
评分我感觉我最佩服李光耀的，不是敢做，而是敢说。
评分One of the men I respect most In history!
评分一个反共头子被中共吹来吹去还吹逼成长者，意识形态不重要腊？
