Behind bars for opposing Lee Kuan Yew

To Catch a Tartar could be a good read for those interested in political memoirs and accounts of activism against authoritarian regimes. It offers a firsthand account of Francis Seow's experiences as a government official who seeks to build an opposition in Singapore and is subsequently detained for 72 days. Through his memoir, Seow sheds light on the highly repressive political climate in Singapore during Lee Kuan Yew's regime and the constant surveillance and harassment of political dissidents.
