Just completed this book. Motivation was a trip to visit Singapore and to learn a little about the history.

4.The Singapore Story: Memoirs of Lee Kuan YewThe Singapore Story: Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew
from Prentice Hall

Customer Review:
Mr Lee Kuan Yew - or LKY - as he is fondly referred to by both admirers and critics, has been a controversial figure as easily discernible in the oxymoronic titles he is often given, such as "benevolent dictator" and "enlightened despot". But to call him such names without heavy qualification is to... more info

Customer Review:
A very beautifully done tour of the restoration of colonial Singapore rendered in watercolors and charcoal sketches. The book gives glimpses into the everyday street life of Singapore in the 1980's. A provocative Journal which makes the reader long for a spur of the moment trip to the orient.

from Grub Street
Price: $40.65

Customer Review:
When you read this book a good historian or soldier comes away with the two lessons: there is nothing like unity of command in military operations and no substitute for good training.

Customer Review:
I found it hard to put this book down, there has been so little coverage of the war in the air over Singapore. I am definitely going to order the first book in the series, "Buffaloes Over Singapore", also.

from Cambridge University Press
Price: $45.00

Customer Review:
There are many texts about the development of Singapore from when it achieved self-government in 1959. This book does not try to compete with them. Instead, most of it deals with the period between about 1869, with the opening of the Suez Canal, and 1959. Much of the analysis about the early period... more info

Reference the excellent review by Glen Buchanan, "Why Japan fought the White Races of Asia in WWII?" ... which underscores Colonel Tsuji's claim that Japan went to war to "emancipate" the oppressed peoples of Asia.
