English traces Trudeau's deep friendships and bitter enmities; his marriage and family tragedy, sweeping us from sixties' Trudeaumania to his final days when he debated his faith. He illuminates his strengths and weaknesses - from political triumph to disenchantment, from his electrifying response to the kidnappings during the October Crisis, to his all-important patriation of the Canadian Constitution, and his evolution to influential elder statesman. Some strong language, and some descriptions of violence. Sequel to "Citizen of the world: the life of Pierre Elliott Trudeau". 2009.
