“Required reading…Krauthammer is among the very best—and this is
the best of the best, selected by him, with an engaging and
fascinating introduction…Amazingly fresh, and full of
thought-provoking formulations and arguments.” –The Weekly
Standard
“A fantastic read, a cerebral read, a fun read.” –Guy Benson,
Townhall
“It’s going to be a big hit.” –Bill O’Reilly, The O’Reilly Factor
(October 21, 2013)
“Krauthammer’s assets include steel-trap logic, an epée wit, a
profound sense of history, and a withering contempt for journalists
who would rather cringe in the dark than bring the truth to
light.” –City Journal
America, you’ve got to read this for your own great pleasure and
relief.” –Hugh Hewitt (October 31, 2013)
"The best American columnists make their British counterparts look
like bumbling amateurs,but none of them writes with more
sense,sensibility and sanity than the Washington Post's Charles
Krauthammer. Things That Matter, selected from a lifetime of
writing, bears comparison with the greatest of American
prose." -Daniel Johnson, Standpoint
"Usually thought of as a conserva-tive, this syndicated columnist
has won both the left-wing People for the American Way’s First
Amendment Award and the right-wing Bradley Foundation’s first
$250,000 Bradley Prize. Readers of all political persuasions will
find plenty here that’s thought-provoking and
worthwhile." -Pittsburg Tribune-Review
“Krauthammer’s first collection in more than 20 years is a
priceless introduction to the columnist’s writing. And for those
who have thrilled at the sight of a Krauthammer byline for
decades, Things That Matter is a window into the master
polemicist’s habits of mind, heart, and technique.” -Matthew
Continetti, Commentary
“For three decades, Charles Krauthammer has enriched American
political discourse with his sharply-honed analysis, humane values,
and questing mind. From personal meditations to learned
examinations of history and policy, Things That Matterstands
as a record of a transformative period in the American experience,
and a remarkable intellect at work.” -Henry A. Kissinger
"Charles Krauthammer is not only the most influential conservative
commentator in America, his writing transcends the crush of daily
events and can be read, with profit, always." –David
Brooks, New York Times columnist and bestselling author
of The Social Animal
“Amid today's clutter of print and cacophony of broadcast
commentary, Charles Krauthammer's lapidary judgments stand out, and
stand the test of time. Literature has been called news that lasts.
Krauthammer's columns take journalism to the level of
literature.” –George F. Will, Washington
Post columnist
“Blending high-mindedness with strong conservative values, he has
commanded respect on both the extreme and moderate sides of the
spectrum, becoming the closest thing the factionalized GOP could
have to a spokesperson, a de facto opposition leader for the
thinking right.” -POLITICO
