    He is the first man I discovered that made it worth getting into politics
  

*by N***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2017*

Having an extreme right-wing father, he would put on FOX news every evening after work while casually drinking beer. Growing up, the voices of the FOX reporters would be in the background. He would switch to CNN from time to time so I would get a good listen on them. What both channels had in common was that these so-called adults would complain like little kids most of the time. But one stood out that had a very calm attitude, which was Charles Krauthammer. Asking myself how he keeps his composure at such a calm state with all these people I didn't know that he was paralyzed which was a tragic story. Even though I ignored the stuff my dad was watching, if I heard Mr. Krauthammer talk, then I would keep an open ear pretending I wasn't interested.  What got me interested in buying this book was because Mr. Krauthammer had many other interests outside of politics like art, math, music, chess science and sports. The first hour reading the book, I fell in love with it immediately and couldn't put it down. He used a lot of different non-political fields to explain politics and it made so much sense. Some moments even caused me to burst out in laughter. It's not in any way deep reading. The prose is addictive and the "chapters" are about a two and a half pages so it makes you feel like, "okay, one more article and I get some lunch or sleep. But you might end up like me and read for two hours straight without realizing it.  Anyone trying to dip their feet into politics for the first time should add this to your basic reading list. From what everyone else is saying, I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    First chapter sold me.
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2018*

My wife bought this book for me a while back but I was in the process of finishing other books I had been reading. After the passing of this great man last night, I pulled the book out and started reading it, not really knowing what to expect.  After reading the first chapter, I had tears in my eyes as this chapter made me recall my own brother who passed 10 years ago and was 7 years younger than me. I had little time with him until we both aged but he left us too soon.Although I have not read the entire book, this first chapter gave me a great hint of what is important in life and I look forward to the next couple of days in reading it. If I am disappointed, I will certainly report this.

    The Best of a Top-Shelf Columnist
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016*

Charles Krauthammer has been a leading voice for conservatism during the Obama years, but his run as a superlative columnist stretches back to the 1980s.  "Things That Matter" is a collection of Krauthammer's best columns and essays of the last few decades.Krauthammer was a liberal when he was younger, but recounts his journey across the political spectrum and his path from medicine to journalism.  While he says that the topics that most captivate the human mind are not political, he reminds us that a society must get politics right if everything else is to flourish, providing Nazi Germany as an example of how demented politics can destroy a society that was advanced in so many other areas.This collection includes some of the author's most hard-hitting columns of the Obama years in which Krauthammer spells out how liberal policies are weakening America both domestically and internationally.  In addition to these columns on topical issues, other columns take a wider view in examining the importance of having conservative domestic and foreign policies.  Krauthammer also looks back at figures such as Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, as well as at events such as the French Revolution and the Cold War.While Krauthammer is known as a political columnist, he applies his superb insights into life and human nature across many other arenas as well—there are fascinating columns in this collection on chess, dogs, baseball, science, mathematics, and much more.Those who are familiar with the author's work are likely to know that he was paralyzed in an accident when he was young.  The volume shows his strength of character in that he touches only lightly on the topic and asserts that one can have a very good life in spite of paralysis.  Krauthammer's writing style is nothing short of phenomenal, and this superb amalgam of topical and timeless columns by one of the Right's leading voices will likely be read avidly even decades from now.
