The Life, Times and Passing of Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Description

From the National Post, Montreal Gazette, and Ottawa Citizen comes this loving, poignant, and spectacular tribute to Canada’s premier politician, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. When on September 28, 2000, at the age of 80, Trudeau passed away, Canadians said goodbye to the sole figure who had dominated their hearts, minds, and imaginations, for forty years. Hailed as Canada’s "spirit of the age", Trudeau had become a calendar for the largest generation ever to pass through Canadian society. He was a Canadian institution, a face as familiar as any Canadian landscape. As Roy Macgregor writes, he was "much like his own country" with his expansiveness, diversity, charm, and wit. In this commemorative volume, you’ll find breath-taking photographs of Trudeau’s life and death, stirring words from those who loved him, and so much more: - Introduction by Roy MacGregor - Justin Trudeau’s Eulogy - Sacha Trudeau’s Reading - Peter C. Newman’s "An Appraisal" - Jacques Hebert’s Eulogy - Robert Fulford’s "The Contrarian Viewpoint" - Condolences - Tributes - 6 photo essays - And much more A stirring and stunning tribute that celebrates one of the greatest men of our age.
