Tradeau Transformed, 1944-1965 The Shaping of a Statesman by Nemni, Max and Monique - 2013

Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 2013. pp. 534, "When he went to Harvard in 1944, Pierre Trudeau was twenty-five, a recent graduate of the University of Montreal Law School; true to his elite Catholic-French education, he had been till recently pro-fascist, and he disliked democracy. Years of graduate study at Harvard, then the Sorbonne, then the London School of Economics exposed him to new ideas, as did his hitchhiking travels around the world. Returned to Quebec as a new man, he engaged in educating workers and other jobs that made him a famous defender of federal democracy. He entered Parliament in 1965, within three years of rocketing, Obama-like, to the very top.". Paperback. Very Good/No Dj. 8vo.
