Just Watch Me; The Life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968-2000
by John English
From the Publisher
This magnificent second volume, written with exclusive access to Trudeau's private papers and letters, completes what the Globe and Mail called the "most illuminating Trudeau protrait yet written" - sweeping us from sixties' Trudeaumania to his final days when he debated his faith. His life is one of Canada's most engrossing stories. John English reveals how for Trudeau style was as important as substance, and how the controversial public figure intertwined with the charismatic private man...
