This overview of Singapore's history sweeps the reader along from its colonial beginnings as a trading outpost of the British Empire in the 1820s to the independent country of the 1960s and 70s. The British author expresses many personal opinions and uses a wealth of anecdotes and literary quotations as he sets out the narrative. Much of the volume's significance is in the many and varied photographs and illustrations drawn from private collections including that of the Raffles Hotel.
