Just Watch Me

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“This book now becomes the standard biography of Trudeau for the sheer scope and thoroughness of the research on all major aspects of Trudeau’s life. English is even-handed, rarely praising, blaming or psychologizing, but he explains and invokes all the different views on the events recounted. And it’s a good read.”
— The Globe and Mail

“English’s biography of Trudeau . . . will surely stand for some time as the definitive account of the oft-told tale. . . . Other books may yet be written about Pierre Elliott Trudeau, but it’s hard to imagine another that would beat English’s version for insight and overview of the man and his time.”
— The Gazette

“John English’s terrific new biography of the former prime minister, Just Watch Me, is about as complete an account of Mr. Trudeau’s love life as we are likely to get.”
— Margaret Wente, The Globe and Mail

“[Trudeau] was a comet across our heavens, and English does him good justice.”
— Winnipeg Free Press

“Shows Trudeau’s private and public sides intersecting poignantly. . . . A prime example of an intensely self-aware man’s quest for fulfillment in every compartment of his complex life.”
— Maclean’s

“However many Trudeau books there may be, English reminds us that the man endures and eludes.”
— The Daily News (Nanaimo)

“Every life is a whole, and English treats Trudeau’s prime ministerial career as a whole to an extent none of his predecessors did.”
— Paul Wells, Literary Review of Canada
