Description

Lim Kit Siang has been fighting on the forefront of Malaysian politics since the late 1960s.

Uncompromising in his mission to pull the country away from systemic race-based politics and all the ills that stem from the sustainment over five decades of these, he was jailed twice without trial.

His persistence saw him and his followers well placed to participate in the surprising resurgence of political opposition over the last 15 years.

Since 2008, his Democratic Action Party has grown greatly in strength, and together with its allies, has been able seriously to challenge the ruling coalition. This book captures the spirit of Lim's life, and describes the grim yet gratifying journey that his refusal to compromise on his political convictions forced him to take.

It is the tale of a man who felt he had no choice, and consequently, whose impact on his country's history is great.

In that way, his story cannot but also be a narrative about a country that has yet to fulfill the great promise that it holds.
