Pierre

edited by Nancy Southam.

Quickie recap: Family, friends, and foes alike all gather to tell their favourite stories involving a true Canadian great - Pierre Trudeau.

Quickie review: In the fall of 2000, I had just moved to the city of Ottawa, and I remember the first time I laid eyes on the majestic Parliament buildings on the hill: the huge buildings were dwarfed by the thousands that lined up outside of them. They were there to say goodbye to the man who had struck a chord throughout the country, and still does today. This book is a great assembly of memorable passages, all of them paying respect to a man much worthy of it.

Quickie recommendation: His memory still resonates.
