Richard Nixon called him “a world statesman of the first rank”.  \nBorn in 1923, Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew spent a lifetime being intimately involved in international affairs. He met every major Chinese leader from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping and hobnobbed with American presidents from Lyndon Johnson to Barack Obama.  \nIn this book, the late statesman drew on that wealth of experience and depth of insight to offer his views on the world and what it might look like in 20 years. This is no dry geopolitical treatise. Nor is it a thematic account of the twists and turns in global affairs. Instead, in this broad-sweep narrative that takes in America, China, Asia and Europe, Lee parses their society, probes the psyche of the people and draws his conclusions about their chances for survival and just where they might land in the hierarchy of tomorrow’s balance of power. What makes a society tick? What do its people really believe? Can it adapt?  \nIn spare, unflinching prose that eschews political correctness, he describes a China that remains obsessed with control from the centre on its way to an unstoppable rise; an America that will have to share its preeminence despite its never-say-die dynamism; and a Europe that struggles with the challenges of keeping its union intact. His candid and often startling views – on why Japan is closed to foreigners, why the Arab Spring won’t bring one man, one vote to the Middle East, and why preventing global warming is not going to be as fruitful as preparing for it – make this a fresh and gripping read. Lee completes the book by looking into the future of Singapore – his enduring concern – and by offering the reader a glimpse into his personal life and his view of death. The book is interspersed with a Q&A section in each chapter, gleaned from conversations he had with journalists from The Straits Times.  \nLike him or loathe him, Lee was always hard to ignore. In his last years, with little else left to prove and 70 years of experience, he looked ahead to offer this unvarnished, clear-eyed view of the future shape of the world.  \nWith fresh and candid analyses of subjects ranging across the globe, One Man’s View of the World demonstrates the acute insights that fellow leaders have sought from Lee Kuan Yew for half a century.  \n—Dr Henry A. Kissinger, US Secretary of State, 1973–1977  \nLee Kuan Yew’s penetrating insight and sharp analysis of Northeast Asia and the world has proven – once again – why he is considered the preeminent elder statesman of our generation. In a rapidly changing world that is full of unforeseen challenges, Lee is a steadfast voice of reason, clarity and hope.  \n—Lee Myung-bak, President of the Republic of Korea, 2008–2013  \nLee presents a sharp and convincing analysis, highlighting the consequences of the inevitable rebalancing of global power between the United States and China. Furthermore, he distinctly reveals Europe’s perspective of self-inflicted marginalisation if its politicians further fail to take the right action. With its farsightedness and political wisdom, Lee’s View of the World provides most valuable guidance for the 21st century world’s complexity.  \n—Helmut Schmidt, German Chancellor, 1974–1982  \nOne Man’s View of the World’s insightful analysis derives from Lee Kuan Yew’s long years of experience as a venerable statesman and his track record of achievements in international affairs.  \n—Yasuhiro Nakasone, Japanese Prime Minister, 1982–1987  \nLike many other leaders, I regularly sought Lee Kuan Yew’s wise – and always candid – counsel, not only on events in Asia, but around the world. His ever-inquiring mind, keen analysis, and strategic vision have made Singapore a unique force in the world. One Man’s View of the World is a book future leaders will cherish for its wisdom and insights into human nature.  \n—George H.W.
