From Third World to First: The Singapore Story: 1965-2000 by Lee Kuan YewMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a thick tome, but every page was fascinating and a revealing insight into the founding of a new country from scratch, and a uniquely successful country at that.
I went into this taking it with a grain of salt, since memoirs, especially by public figures like Lee Kuan Yew, tend to be self-serving.
However, even given this, it was extremely interesting and enlightening. This book will be eye-opening to pretty much anyone, whether you are familiar with Singapore's history or not (I wasn't really).
