The book also follows the repatriation of the Constitution and the introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, milestones that reshaped the nation.
Beyond politics, the photographs explore Trudeau's personal life, including his marriage to Margaret Sinclair and his close relationship with his three sons.
