Argues that, despite the leading role played by Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore's success, his underlings played a considerable role, one which scholars have largely ignored. "Contributors examine the roles played by the key architects of Modern Singapore: the organisational utility men, the idealogues, the economic and social architect, the Chinese politico-cultural vanguards, the Malay mobilisers, the legalists and even those who were vanquished in the struggle for power" (cover blurb). $30.00AUD Click here to order or message the dealer
