Description

To appreciate a city fully is to understand the underpinnings of its past. A city's history is made from a rich melange of events, some well-known and others well-hidden. The Insider's series acts as a companion for those in search of the what, why and when to better understand the city and its history. Singapore - the Lion City - is one of the most developed cosmopolitan cities in the world. Once a flourishing British trading port that was hailed as "an impregnable fortress" during WWII, Singapore has made impressive progress in its short history to become today's magnificent "garden city". In Insider's Singapore, author David Brazil explores the little-known aspects of the city's famous and not-so-famous personalities and landmarks. His collection of lively, bite-size stories covering the major milestones of Singapore's short but dense history will make you appreciate the city in its historical totality. From the mysterious tomb on Fort Canning Hill to the mysterious identity of the nude woman in the painting 'Eastern Fantasy' in Goodwood Park Hotel, from the first racecourse in Singapore to its first airport, Insider's Singapore offers captivating insight into this bustling island city.
