This book is a must read for people interested in a true Asian success story. From this book, we also learn about the thinking of one of this century's truly visionary statesmen." (George Bush)
"In office, I read and analysed every speech of Lee's. He had a way of penetrating the fog of propaganda and expressing with unique clarity the issues of our times and the way to tackle them. He was never wrong." (Margaret Thatcher)
"The title of the book, From third world to first world, expresses an aspiration of all developing countries, but so far, alas, an achievement of very few. Singapore is one of the few. This account of its first years of independence written by its founding father, Lee Kuan Yew, will therefore be of great interest to people of other developing countries and to all those who are interested in their fate. It is also told with great clarity, in a refreshing direct style. I found it a gripping read. (Lee Kuan Yew)
