Reviews

"The major strengths of this book are Leifer's uncanny ability to decipher with great accuracy the motivations of Singapore's foreign policy formulators and deliver them to an audience in his trademark elegance.."

"This book...is a useful contribution to a better understanding of how this small nation has managed to survive in such a politcally fragile region. It will be especially beneficial for readers who are keen to have a detailed account of Singapore's problematic relations with Malaysia and Indonesia."
