PART I: THE MAKING OF A MALAY CHAMPION -- Politicized by War and Peace -- An Early Introduction to Brutal Politics -- PART II: PRIME MINISTER FOR LIFE, ALMOST -- From Outcast to Presidential Premier -- The Vision of a Modern Nation -- A Volatile Mix of Business and Politics -- Scandal, What Scandal? -- Big, Bigger, Bust -- An Uncrowned King -- The Perils of a Pragmatic Islam -- A Strident Voice for the Third World -- The Destruction of a Designated Heir -- PART III: TURMOIL IN RETIREMENT -- A Bare-Knuckle Brawl over One Man's Legacy -- A Place in History.

The grandson of an Indian immigrant and the first Malay commoner to become prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad turned the Muslim-majority Southeast Asian country into one of the developing world's mostsuccessful economies. During his 22 years in power he adopted pragmatic economic policies alongside repressive political measures, and showedthat Islam was compatible with representative government and modernization. Abrasive and outspoken, Mahathir emerged as a Third World championand Islamic spokesman by condemning the West, not least for trying toimpose liberal democracy and neo-liberal economics on developing nations. By raising living standards and winning international acclaim, he contributed to a sense of national identity, pride and confidence among ethnically diverseMalaysians. But in mixing business and politics, Mahathir encouraged cronyism and failed to preventthe spread of corruption. Authoritarian and impatient, he jailed opponents, sacked rivals and undermined institutions as he pursued his obsession with development. In retirement, he broke a promise to stay out of politics, falling out with his two successors while using all available means to protect his legacy.
