​

From America’s preeminent columnist, named by the Financial Times the most influential commentator in the nation, the best-selling collection of Charles Krauthammer’s essential, timeless writings.

 

A brilliant stylist known for an uncompromising honesty that challenges 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. Here, the best of Krauthammer’s intelligence, erudition and wit are 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 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 reflected on the events that shaped his career and political philosophy, this indispensable 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.
