With the PAP Party's victory of the elections of 1959, Lee Kuan Yew became a sort of Dictator of this former British Colony Singapore. At first, he appeared just the politician that the locals dreamed off but with more and more power on his hands and with practically no opposition to challenge him, he grew into a sort of despot. TJ S George does great justice to reveal the Man that Lee Kuan Yew is. Lee Kuan Yew surely and swiftly disposed of his politician rivals and he successfully used the Internal Security Act that allows the detention with trial of these opponents. I strongly recommend anyone who believes in Human Rights, Democracy, The Right of the Vote to get hold of this fine book. Even today in Year 2013 and with a 90 years old Lee Kuan Yew, reading this book will educate you on how Power eventually corrupts even a one-time principled lawyer for the down-trodden.
