Things That Matter: by Charles Krauthammer Book Review
Political Science---Essays, 369 pgs. ISBN 970-0-385-34917-8
Things That Matter: Three Decades of Passions, Pastimes and Politics
Dr. Krauthammer, Pulitzer Prize winning author, syndicated columnist, political commentator and physician has assembled some of his most notable essays and commentary from the last thirty years into one collection. Starting with a short autobiography and ending with several insightful essays on political concerns his writing is sharp and witty deserving the Best Seller status it has held.
His writings will have greater appeal to our more conservative leaning readers, but will still be interesting and thought provoking to anyone interested in “Things That Matter.”
The topics range from his own intellectual and political development to Baseball, Chess and Geo Politics. All given in depth critical analysis, substantiated with sound research and first hand experience.
While I do not agree with all of his conclusions, I find my disagreements are not on the facts, but as is often the case, on matters of opinion. Still I would recommend this book for enjoyable reading and respect worthy commentary, likely to help one assess their own position and perspective on events of import.
Respectfully,
O.A.

his mind.
I enjoyed it and although I feel I have a robust vocabulary, I did have to reach for the dictionary a few times. He is an extraordinary writer.
