It is neither apology nor defence, but a forceful, compelling and often exciting account of how Dr Mahathir achieved what he did in so short a time, and why.įormat : Paperback By (Author): Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad It provides a clear and compelling narrative of modern Malaysian political history as seen through the eyes of one its greatest shapers. This book reveals hitherto unknown aspects of this intensely private, but publicly bold, statesman. At almost every turn Dr Mahathir rewrote the rules. He has been described-typically and paradoxically-as a tyrannical dictator, a bête noir, as well as inspiring, courageous and an outspoken defender of the downtrodden, the Third World, and moderate Islam. This remarkable achievement was not without controversy, and Dr Mahathir's extraordinary vision and iron grip earned him both enemies as well as ardent admirers within and outside of Malaysia. In his twenty-two years as Prime Minister of Malaysia Dr Mahathir Mohamad transformed his country from an agricultural backwater into an industrial powerhouse that would become the seventeenth-largest trading nation in the world. 10 Books to thank your favorite teacher.
