Just watch me the life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968-2000

English, John 1945- (Author).

Summary: Written with exclusive access to Trudeau's private papers and letters, Just Watch Me explores one of the most intriguing, remarkable political leaders of our times, 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 and committed father. He traces Trudeau's deep friendships -- including the many glamorous women in his life -- and bitter enmities, his marriage to Margaret Sinclair, and the tragic death of his son Michel.
