The West describes him as stubborn, racist, anti-Jewish, and arrogant. Developing countries, however, see former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad as the visionary champion and extraordinary leader who injects the spirit of every Third World individual to stand majestically. Even his most vocal critics could not deny that despite all this, Tun Dr. Mahathir gave the marginalized countries courage and showed the way to a hopeful future. Nevertheless, he did not escape the controversy. During his 22 years in power, he was described as a dictator and a stimulus. Not many leaders have managed to transform the entire country from an agrarian economy to an industrial power in a short period of two decades. Here, with the accuracy of surgery, Dr. Mahathir traces the traces of history and refines his own role in shaping modern Malaysia.
