CNN “Book of the Week” Featuring a foreword by Henry Kissinger The grand strategist and founder of modern Singapore offers key insights and opinions on globalization, geopolitics, economic growth, and democracy in a series of interviews with the author of Destined for War, and others “If you are interested in the future of Asia, which means the future of the world, you’ve got to read this book.” —Fareed Zakaria, CNN When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West. American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have welcomed him to the White House; British prime ministers from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair have recognized his wisdom; and business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers key insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee’s voluminous published writings and presents them in an engaging question and answer format. Lee offers his assessment of China’s future, asserting, among other things, that “China will want to share this century as co-equals with the U.S.” He affirms the United States’ position as the world’s sole superpower but expresses dismay at the vagaries of its political system. He offers strategic advice for dealing with China and goes on to discuss India’s future, Islamic terrorism, economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee does not pull his punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on multiculturalism, the welfare state, education, and the free market. This little book belongs on the reading list of every world leader.

"The Last Grandmaster: Legend of Hua" is a epic tale of one man's estraordinary struggle and ultimate triumph, and reveals to modern readers for the first time, an ancient, mystical path to success and long life. It chronicles the achievements of Grandmaster Sin Kwang The ́, an extraordinary man, whose exceptional discipline and superb martial arts expertise enabled him to become the youngest Grandmaster in history. Schooled in the East in the ancient Shaolin martial arts by the legendary Shaolin Grandmaster E, and schooled in the West by two of Hollywood's most famous screenwriters, Sid Field and Robert Mckee, Grandmaser Sin Kwang The ́ is uniquely able to take you on a journey through his eventful life and beyond, into the mystical realm of ancient legend to share powerful life-enhancing techniques never before available to the West. "The Last Grandmaster" artfully weaves the legendary stories of historic martial arts heroes with the Grandmaster's own life story, set against riveting events in the history of modern China. The Grandmaster also introduces a profound spiritual element into his exciting tale by revealing the existence of his own spiritual guardian, the legendary martial arts warrior, Lady Hua, who first appeared to him in his dreams as a boy. Lady Hua has served as his spiritual guardian throughout his entire life and unfailingly led him through tragedy and pitfalls on his path to greatness. With her guidance, Sin The ́ was able to persevere through tragedies that might have crushed a lesser man, saved by his unwavering commitment to a lifelong regimen of superhumanly-grueling martial arts training that few others could have survived. The book also reveals the workings of the 720 pressure points in our bodies that mysteriously effect our health and well-being, which, when harnessed, can make you stronger, faster, smarter, healthier, longer lived, and enable you to become wealthier and more successful than you ever dreamed possible. Best of all, at the end of the book, Grandmaster Sin Kwang The ́ bestows the ancient Nei Kung technique of "Eternal Youth" onto his faithful readers, which, when combined with a special, enhanced "Green Smoothie" elixir he has developed just for you, can extend your life expectancy by decades! BOOK ONE: This book, the first in a three volume set, follows the Grandmaster from his infancy during the brutal WWII Japanese invasion and occupation of Indonesia through to the later years of civil unrest and rioting that tragically took the lives of two of his dearest loved ones, culminating in his journey to America to begin anew. BOOKS TWO & THREE: The two sequels to follow will chronicle his rise in America to become the founder and respected leader of the largest martial arts organization in the world outside of China, and his ultimate success as an Executive Producer in Hollywood of the soon-to-be a major motion picture, the martial arts action feature, "Defenders of the Gao." His message to you all is: "Only by daring to dream can your dream become reality..."

The Shaolin Grandmasters' Text is a one-of-a-kind volume discussing the history, philosophy and Gung Fu of Shaolin Ch'an, one of the most misunderstood schools of Ch'an Buddhism. In this revised edition, the Order of Shaolin Ch'an have updated information on their martial and Buddhist legacies in an effort to further preserve the Order's heritage. Beginning in 1901, the most senior priests of the Shaolin Order fled a war-ravaged China. Over a period of several years they gathered in New York City's Chinatown. For the last 100 years, the Order of Shaolin Ch'an has worked quietly to preserve the traditions, philosophy, and arts of the Order in the United States. Since the 70's, when Shaolin and its martial arts increasingly became a focal point of popular culture, misinformation and disinformation have anchored it in a growing notoriety. In contrast, this volume strives to accurately share what is spiritually meaningful and martially significant about Shaolin.

Nick Hurst was working in London when he threw in his job in advertising to train for four years in Malaysia and China with a kung fu grandmaster, Sugong. This book is a mix of Nick’s experiences in South-East Asia and the story of Sugong’s extraordinary life. Initiated into kung fu by an opium-addicted master, Sugong was expelled from school, kidnapped, and nearly killed in a family feud. All by the age of sixteen.He fled army conscription in China, only to be engulfed in a world of gangsters and blood-brothers in Singapore.Saved by a Shaolin warrior monk, his penance was eight years of fiercely-enforced temple training. A near-fatal fall-out with his master, love affairs, race riots and gangland vendettas all followed as he travelled through South-East Asia. Throughout, he struggled to adhere to martial arts’ ethics in an imperfect world.His story spanned fascinating periods of history of four Asian countries in Asia: war-torn 1930s China; instability in post-war Singapore; racial tension in the newly independent Malaysia; and a gangster-led Taiwan in the aftermath of its Chinese breakaway.The origins of Shaolin kung fu and triad organised crime are explored to provide a context to his life.
