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 sometimes 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.
