3.75 stars. A flawed, if lovely, story of Singapore's history. I could do with the WW2 section being about 10% of what it actually was, and readers should know the book basically ends on independence day. but, it's a useful guide to the history of such a wonderful place, and the book itself is gorgeous.

Good easy digestible history of Singapore. Read after moving here and wanting to understand the history of this island city.

A very good overview of the city-state from its founding to its full independence. Plenty of engaging primary source quotes, and loads of archival photographs.
