Narayanan Ganesan, Professor, Graduate School of Peace Studies, Hiroshima City University ""Ang Cheng Guan, Professor of the International History of Southeast Asia and Associate Dean of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University, is effectively the dean of international historians in Singapore. He has sought in his scholarly work at large to underscore the global underpinnings of Southeast Asian affairs, thus helping to bring the region closer to academic interest and public reach everywhere. In this book, he casts the same discerning eye on Singapore as a part of Southeast Asia. The book is an expanded version of his seminal volume, Lee Kuan Yew’s Strategic Thought, published in 2013. Lee’s death in 2015, and yet the endurance of his strategic ideas, makes this updated book worth reading for even those familiar with its earlier incarnation. The book is timely also because it marks the centenary of Lee’s birth. It is a tribute paid to a person without whom contemporary Singapore might not have existed or might have survived without the instinctive global recognition that it commands today.""
