JUST WATCH ME: THE LIFE OF PIERRE ELLIOTT TRUDEAU, 1968 – 2000 Written by John English Published by Knopf Canada 
JUST WATCH ME, the second of a two-volume biography, examines the leadership of Pierre Elliott Trudeau as he manages the threats to Canada’s unity and prosperity in the last third of the twentieth century. A master of synthesis, John English brings the sharp eye and deft pen of the seasoned historian to his engaging interpretation of Canada’s most provocative, if erratic, prime minister. Here is a memorable portrait of Trudeau at full flood – as nation-builder, strongman, electioneer, aesthete, intellectual, outdoorsman, husband, father, and lover – drawn with authority, humanity and sympathy.
