About this gift
Lee Kuan Yew's own account of how Singapore grew from a poor former colony into a prosperous modern city between 1965 and 2000. Published by HarperCollins in a 752-page edition, it draws on official papers and his dealings with leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. It suits fathers who enjoy history, leadership and economics and like a book they can return to over months. It is sold on Amazon by Cocoblu Retail and ships from Amazon. A solid birthday or Father's Day gift for a thoughtful reader.
