Information About
This book describes the events surrounding the 17th meeting of the Commonwealth of Nations held from 7 to 15 January 1969 in London. Although it covers the meeting’s agenda of discussing major events that affected the Commonwealth, the book focuses mainly on the part played by Lee Kuan Yew in the course of the meeting, and the story of the discussions about defence of Southeast Asia that happened outside the meeting. The book also highlights comments from the world press that relate to these events.
