'To understand the present and anticipate the future, one must know enough of the past - enough to have a sense of history of a people.'
Lee Kuan Yew
While much has been written about the more recent political and economic changes that have characterised the countries of Southest Asia, the history of the region has tended to be overlooked or treated in such detail as to make it difficult for busy people to digest. This book seeks, in the context of Lee Kuan Yew's thought provoking words, to provide readable histories of the ten countries of Southeast Asia and give the reader an edge in understanding and predicting the future direction of the environments in which they are living and working.
