The Tiger and the Trojan Horse

---

Dennis Bloodworth

This a a popular account of the struggle for control of the moderate People's Action Party in the last days of British colonial rule in Singapore. The party had been formed by Lee Kuan Yew and colleagues, as a vehicle to lead Singapore to independence. However the party had insufficient public support and acquiesced in the entry of members of the banned Communist Party, which had a mass popular following. The ensuing battle for the party had the communists seeing themselves as a Trojan Horse, using the party to gain respectability and the founders seeing them as the Tiger which must be tamed for the party to have any chance of their policies prevailing. New Paperback. Reprint. Originally published in 1986.
