Dr Mahathir Mohamad governed Malaysia from 1981 to 2003, during
which he wrote and received many letters from world leaders. The 71
letters presented in this volume are unique as they argue the contrasting
positions on terrorism, globalisation, economic and diplomatic
relations, as well as wars and conflicts. The correspondence presents a
less-than-ideal world for the reader to inhabit.
The correspondents-Dr Mahathir, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher,
George W. Bush, Jacques Chirac and Prince Charles, among others
-were transparent, solid, informative, and solnetimes robust.
Dr Mahathir writes directly, in his own distinctive voice and style. The
memories they and their words leave behind are always startling.
An excellent book to be enjoyed, on many different levels, by all
who love politics, diplomacy and international relations. This book
was winner of the Popular-The Star Readers' Choice Award in 2009.
