One of the most important, exciting biographies of our time: the definitive, major two-volume biography of Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
Written with unprecedented, complete access to Trudeau's enormous cache of private letters and papers, bestselling biographer John English delves beyond existing portraits of Trudeau to reveal the man and the multiple influences that shaped his life as one of Canada's longest-serving heads of government. In doing so, he provides the full context lacking in all previous biographies to date. Volume One explores Trudeau's early history-family life, education, travels, political induction, relationships, and intimacies-a personal side of Trudeau that has never before been revealed. It also sheds light on the seeds of his genius and charisma, his ambition, his ruthlessness, and his deliberate shaping of the politician and statesman he was to become.
In 1938 Trudeau began a diary, which he continued for over two years. It is detailed, frank, and extraordinarily revealing. It is the only diary in Trudeau' s papers, apart from less personal travel diaries and an agenda for 1937 that contains some commentary. His diary expresses Trudeau's own need to chronicle the moments of late adolescence as he tried to find his identity. It begins on New Year's Day 1938 with the intriguing advice: "If you want to know my thoughts, read between the lines!"
