When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and
CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister
from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world
stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a
Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of
East and West. American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have welcomed
him to the White House; British prime ministers from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair
have recognized his wisdom; and business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex
Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers
key insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee's voluminous published writings and
presents them in an engaging question and answer format.

Lee
offers his assessment of China's future, asserting, among other things, that
"China will want to share this century as co-equals with the U.S." He
affirms the United States' position as the world's sole superpower but expresses
dismay at the vagaries of its political system. He offers strategic advice for
dealing with China and goes on to discuss India's future, Islamic terrorism,
economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee does not pull his
punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on multiculturalism, the welfare state,
education, and the free market. This little book belongs on the reading list of
every world leader -- including the one who takes the oath of office on January 20,
2013.
