The book is a collection of quotes from interviews, speeches, and writings, but reads cohesively and is chockful of great lines from an extraordinary leader. Impressive to read Lee Kuan Yew's discerning views on the world around him and the simple approach to bringing Singapore from swamps to skyscrapers. Living here myself, you can still see his vision imbued in Singapore's fabric.
Great read from a fascinating leader. “I am not political correct, I am correct.” Highly recommended if you want to understand the world a bit better.
