Sheila Jones says Trudeaumania<\/em> by ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ History prof, Paul Litt, is the book to buy to understand the cultural phenomenon that was the elder Trudeau.  She writes: “Litt\u2019s Trudeaumania<\/em> is about sex, sizzle and popular culture. Sex, he writes, had become the central obsession of a pop culture, which ‘exploited its power to titillate and sensationalize. Trudeaumania derived much of its sizzle from the sex-obsessiveness and sexism of the time.’ It was the time of sexual liberation, Beatlemania and Andy Warhol.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more go to the review, “Rise to Power,” at the Winnipeg Free Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
