“A sensitive, thoughtful, and beautifully written biography of one of Canada's most intriguing figures by a leading Canadian historian. This first installment shows that if anyone can unpick the puzzle of Pierre Trudeau and help us to understand both his many-faceted personality and his impact on his times, it is surely John English.”—Dr. Margaret MacMillan“[This biography] is brilliant, so perceptive about Trudeau, so well informed on the context, so beautifully written..” —Ramsay Cook, General Editor of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography

A very detailed bio and a must read for all those interested in the transformation of canadian politics and Quebec's role as a unique province.
First I would say, that Professor English faced the dilemma of any biographer. He had to gain access to not just public archives,but private documents. To what extent he can remain objective, is up to the reader.I personally feel, upon reading the first volume, that he is objective. I have not read the second volume as of yet.The book is a workmanlike job. This era in Quebec, comes across as not a pleasant one. This is a testament to the biographer.We see Trudeau, the young Catholic intellectual, wrestle with the dilemmas faced by a French Canadian of his time.He works on the socialist magazine cite libre, travels the world, and perhaps develops a worldview.The question then is maybe I am reading too much into his choices. We all know he became Prime Minister.Apart from partisan Conservatives, the Charter is viewed as a landmark in Canadian history. Obviously thatwould be in the second volume, but it bears mentioning.If you do not respect the rule of law, then the Charter is mere legalese, empty chatter. However to this Canadian, it casts ashadow as far as 2018.To conclude, buy the book and read it, if you are interested in Quebec history.
This is the first volume of John English's biography of the life of Pierre Trudeau. It deals with the period up to when Trudeau was elected to lead the Liberal party in 1968 after the resignation of Prime Minister Pearson (it does not concern itself with the later Canadian election of 1968; this is in the second volume).Somewhat like the biography of Max and Monique Nimni it paints a portrait, for Trudeau's early formative years, of a nationalistic and fervent Catholic who was right-wing, bordering on the fascist. It also gives us a view of his rich and privileged life - a perpetual and traveling student. But Trudeau was always open to the wider world even though his road to it was long, taking him over thirty years to really embrace it. Up to that time Trudeau was so conservative that he would ask Catholic priests for permission to read controversial books. He was cocooned in the insular world of Quebec and was hardly aware of the onset of World War II. He opposed conscription due mostly to the influence of Quebec Catholicism. In the U.S. he would have been considered an isolationist, except that Trudeau's isolationism lasted to the early 1950's.It is when he attended Harvard, then schools in Paris and London that he finally came to realize the extent of his Quebec parochialism. Mr. English depicts well how Trudeau became more and more like the title of his book - "Citizen of the World".One senses throughout - even though now and then we are aware of Trudeau's deficiencies (such as his infatuation with left-wing dictatorships - from Stalin to Castro), the esteem with which the author regards Trudeau. And one comes to admire throughout the pages of this book Trudeau's eloquence, fortitude and magnetism. This is certainly reflected throughout his many years as Prime Minister - that marked him as the most phenomenal of the modern era. In this book we are given a perspective of the individualism of Trudeau which made him such a formidable and erudite figure.Two of my favourite Trudeau quotes (from page 471 of my volume)- "the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation". This was said in 1967; can one imagine a U.S. presidential contender saying such today?!- "what may be sin to some is not law for all".
John English has written a detailed and fascinating biography of Pierre Elliot Trudeau, the most remarkable Canadian of the 20th century. English was granted access to Trudeau's huge personal archives and is thus able to produce a rich and detailed study of this fascinating man. English's account of Trudeau's evolution from a conservative Quebec nationalist to avery liberal Canadian federalist is the most important contribution of this impressive book. As an American who admires Trudeau, this book is a god-send!
