Summary:

In 2006 Max and Monique Nemni stunned Canadians with their book Young Trudeau. It established beyond any doubt that in his youth, from 1919 until he left the University of Montreal in 1944, Trudeau was a typical young member of the Montreal French Catholic elite ... sympathetic to Fascist leaders, suspicious of democracy, the author of an anti-Semitic play, and a man who not only ignored the Second World War while other young Canadians died in their thousands, but who actually plotted to take Quebec out of Canada.

Their book was met with an astonished reaction. "I was extremely shocked," wrote Lysiane Gagnon in the Globe and Mail. Yet nobody could refute their claims, based as they were on their access to Trudeau's own papers, which they quoted to convincing effect. As a result, and because of the revealing portrait painted of Quebec society in those years, Young Trudeau won the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize as the best book on Canadian public affairs published that year.

Now, with Trudeau Transformed, the second volume in the Trudeau, Son of Quebec, Father of Canada series, the Nemnis have produced another stunning surprise. As they show, step by intellectual step, how Trudeau changed into the modern liberal statesman that the world remembers, prepare to be surprised. Prepare to have almost everything you thought you knew about Trudeau in these twenty years challenged, and your own thinking transformed. Book jacket.
