Lee Kuan Yew is one of the most influential leaders in Asia. In this illuminating account, Lee writes frankly about his disapproving approach to political opponents and his often unorthodox views on human rights, democracy, and inherited intelligence, aiming always “to be correct, not politically correct.” Since it’s independence in 1965, tiny Singapore – once a poor and decrepit colony – has risen to become a rich and thriving Asian metropolis. From Third World to First is a fascinating and insightful account of Singapore’s survival from a history of oppressive colonialism, the Second World War and major poverty and disorder. Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility of world politics. Today Singapore boasts not only to have the busiest port of trade, best airport with the world’s number one airline, but also the world’s fourth-highest per capita real income? An Island hailed as the city of the future, Singapore’s miraculous history is dramatically recounted by the man who not only lived through it all but fearlessly forged ahead and brought about most of the changes. Lee highlights is relationships with his political peers from Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan to George Bush and poetry-spouting Jiang Zemin. Also a father of three Lee writes warmly of his family life. From Third World to First offers readers a compelling glimpse not only into the heart but also the mind of an incredibly influential man who is impossible to ignore in Asian and international politics.

读后感
因为对亚洲各国的当代史不熟悉，况且印象中的记忆本身就是被某种原因特地的扭曲过，这本书要一边看，一边查WIKI的各国和首脑介绍，看得真费劲。 了解新加坡，附带还要了解亚洲，算是读此书的另一收获吧
评分高中时就拜读了这本书，觉得写的实在是好，但又很不解，为什么其中与中国有关的这么少，后来读了原版才知道其中有大量删节，所以有机会还是找本原版来看吧，还有一点，读完后不要盲目崇拜，既然是李光耀自己写的回忆录，同时他仍在新加坡政坛发挥着举足轻重的作用，所以他必定...
评分This is the second memoir of Lee Kuan Yew, published in 2000. A fairly thick one, purchased from Amazon China (quite a surprise that they have it in store), but worth reading. Binding is not decent, however, the structure is clear and appealing to readers. ...
评分挺真实的。 第一遍是浏览了全书。 给我的印象是：一个机会主义者、现实主义者、谋略家及政治家。 开篇就是写的彷徨和不安而非丰功伟业。 最值得读的一章我推荐青少年时代，那经历叫一个起落坎坷。 写自己的父母亲和祖父，直言自己的态度。 写英军日军占领下的新加坡和自己的处...
评分有人是这样评价李光耀的，让他管理新加坡，太屈才了。 这本书中，有这样一段描写，让人印象深刻。 李光耀说，每次他的车行至小学，正好放学，学生从学校中涌出，他总是忧心忡忡，因为他不知道，这些小孩在独立以后的新加坡，是否能有工作，过上体面的生活。 不管后人怎样评...

我感觉我最佩服李光耀的，不是敢做，而是敢说。
评分One of the men I respect most In history!
评分治国的教科书，新加坡能有今天，离不开李总理的保姆式管理。
评分当时一出版就买了至今还存着。那时从头到尾通读一遍，对于这位睿智的星州国父是很拜服的。因为有家人因緣际会在星州落脚度过大半生，对星州及其領导人有一种不同的情結⋯
评分对于华人圈、东南亚、甚至后殖民时代来说都是一部珍贵的人类遗产。作为华文世界尤其是大陆的读者，感触最深的莫过于所谓仅用一代人的时间将一个第三世界国家破茧成蝶为一个发达国家（俺爹瞄见书名时对「First World」的说法存异议）的光辉功绩；再来就是第二部分百科全书式的 20 世纪中后期外交风云，是极罕见的能同时以一个「个人」角色投入到国际政治舞台的华人；贯穿始终的是做「正确」的事的胆识与魄力。我们早已习惯于那些在政坛人物过世时所冠以的类似于「远见卓识」之类的修饰，但在比较之下反而会觉得用在李光耀先生身上会色泽不够，他果真彻底无愧于华人之光的美誉。
