Description

In 1811, a single Englishman fought to keep open for international trade the two vital waterways through the tens of thousands of islands of the East Indies archipelago, linking the Indian Ocean with the South China Sea. That man was Thomas Stamford Raffles and, this is his story. He was arguably the greatest Englishman ever to set foot on the islands of the East Indies archipelago today, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.. Beyond free trade, Raffles stood for private property ownership and freedom at a time when his enemies strove to defend monopoly, feudalism and despotism. His story is one of optimism, courage, adventure, humanity, love, jealousy and heartbreak, Almost 200 years after his death, the bright, light of his vision of freedom lives/on, The men and women of south-east) Asia are still inspired by his dream of liberty, prosperity and justice for all and free trade is targeted for achievement in the year 2020.
