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 Lee also uses previously unpublished official government reports and papers to explain how he led a tiny country into becoming a prosperous and secure modern society, amid the constant hostility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
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...
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...
用户评价
近5年来读过的，最有启发的一本书。
评分一连四十载每年8-12%的GDP增长率背后的故事……比我想象中的要坎坷艰难很多。以前只知道新加坡是亚洲四小龙，觉得他们发展好主要原因就是人少好管。现在才知道，远没这么简单。李光耀的讲述视角独特，故事精彩，十分推荐！
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。
评分太牛了……
