Things That Matter by Charles Krauthammer
From America's preeminent columnist, named by the Financial Times the most influential commentator in the nation, a must-have collection of Charles Krauthammer's essential, timeless writings.A brilliant stylist known for an uncompromising honesty that challenged conventional wisdom at every turn, Krauthammer dazzled readers for decades with his keen insight into politics and government. His weekly column was a must-read in Washington and across the country. Don't miss the best of Krauthammer's intelligence, erudition and wit collected in one volume. Readers will find here not only the country's leading conservative thinker offering a passionate defense of limited government, but also a highly independent mind whose views--on feminism, evolution and the death penalty, for example--defy ideological convention. Things That Matter also features several of Krauthammer's major path-breaking essays--on bioethics, on Jewish destiny and on America's role as the world's superpower--that have profoundly influenced the nation's thoughts and policies. And finally, the collection presents a trove of always penetrating, often bemused reflections on everything from border collies to Halley's Comet, from Woody Allen to Winston Churchill, from the punishing pleasures of speed chess to the elegance of the perfectly thrown outfield assist. With a special, highly autobiographical introduction in which Krauthammer reflects on the events that shaped his career and political philosophy, this indispensible chronicle takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the fashions and follies, the tragedies and triumphs, of the last three decades of American life.
Charles Krauthammer is one of America's foremost political essayists and widely read columnists. He writes a weekly syndicated column for the Washington Post that appears in more than 125 newspapers worldwide and a monthly essay for Time magazine, and contributes frequently to The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, and other journals. He also appears regularly on Inside Washington and FOX News. Mr. Krauthammer is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary, the National Magazine Award for essays and criticism, the Bradley Prize for promotion of liberal democracy and American institutions, and, on the occasion of the presentation of this essay, the American Enterprise Institute's highest award, the Irving Kristol Award.
