S. Rajaratnam, The Authorised Biography, Volume Two: The Lion's Roar
About this book
S. Rajaratnam, one of Singapore's core founding fathers and its first Foreign Minister, was a man of ideas, ideals and action. In engaging prose, Irene Ng, bestselling author of the first volume of Rajaratnam's biography, The Singapore Lion, reveals—as never before—how Rajaratnam changed the course of his country's history, often by the sheer force of his ideas and will. The second volume, The Lion's Roar, begins with his struggles during Singapore's traumatic years in Malaysia from 1963 to 1965. Informed by decades of research, numerous interviews, and access to Mr. Rajaratnam's private and government papers, the book gives new insight into his personality and priorities as he was confronted with Singapore's sudden independence, which left the island exposed to all the calamities of a vulnerable state.
