A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The first in the Giants of Asia series, Conversations with Lee Kuan Yew is a succinct, penetrating, richly detailed and candid book on Singapore's first prime minister and represents the Asian legend s first extended conversation with a Western journalist. In this second edition, Tom Plate brings the reader up to date with events that have occurred since the book was first published in 2010. Plate also interviews former U.S. Secretary of State Dr Henry Kissinger, shedding light on Dr Kissinger s long friendship with Mr Lee, his views about the former premier s leadership style and Singapore in the 21st century. The result is often surprising, sometimes startling, occasionally humorous and never, ever dull. Enter into the mind of this controversial but internationally respected political leader and pioneer, through the eyes and ears of one of America's leading journalists on Asia.
