| Sumario: | They stood firm on their convictions despite the odds. Some paid a heavy toll for their beliefs - deprivations, long prison terms, lonely lives in self-imposed exile. But they never broke. Some will say the unflinching attitude of these dissidents against what they perceived as coercive authority has been an exercise in futility. Yet other say the course of Singapore's history might have been altered if their will had prevailed. Their stories need to be told. The first of it's kind, this book will inform and educate. Rather than to glorify their tough stance, these memoirs are a record of human. |
