Search in google:
Widely acclaimed as a "magnificent" biography, Just Watch Me sweeps us from the heady Trudeaumania of the sixties to Pierre Elliott Trudeau's final days to give us an intimate portrait of the charismatic leader who enthralled millions, enraged many, and fundamentally changed the political course of the nation. Bestselling biographer John English reveals Trudeau as a man of complexity and intellect in a fascinating political and social time. With sensitivity and insight the explores his intense personal life-his fairy-tale marriage that crashed on the public stage; his deep commitment to his three sons; the tragedy of Michel's death; his close friendships (particularly with glamorous women, including Margot Kidder and Barbra Streisand) and bitter political enmities; and his life as influential elder statesman. Above all, he makes clear that Canada would have developed as a different country without Trudeau; and that his legacy, though controversial, is still enormous today.
