Description

In his twenty-two years as Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad transformed his country from an agricultural backwater into an industrial powerhouse. This remarkable achievement was not without controversy, and Dr. Mahathir's extraordinary vision and iron grip earned him both enemies and ardent admirers within and outside of Malaysia. He has been described as a tyrannical dictator, a bête noire, as well as inspiring, courageous, and an outspoken defender of the downtrodden, the Third World, and moderate Islam. This book reveals unknown aspects of this intensely private but publicly bold statesman, providing a clear and compelling narrative of modern Malaysian political history through the eyes of one of its greatest shapers. It is a forceful, compelling, and often exciting account of how Dr. Mahathir achieved what he did in such a short time and why. [Note: The description has been shortened for clarity.]
