About this book

James Clad wrote at the time of researching this Book for The Far East Economic Review. The book is an accurate and hard hitting expose of the dark underbelly of corruption that created the Tiger Economies of South East Asia in the 80's. It contains interviews with some of the people directly involved and having lived and worked in SEA at the same time I can vouch for much of Mr Clad's accurate, if unflattering, description and analysis.
