Created and compiled by Charles Krauthammer before his death, The Point of It All is a powerful collection of the influential columnist's most important works. Spanning the personal, the political and the philosophical, it includes never-before-published speeches and a major new essay about the effect of today's populist movements on the future of global democracy. Edited and with an introduction by the columnist's son, Daniel Krauthammer, it is the most intimate and profound book yet by the legendary writer and thinker.
Â
In his decades of work as America's preeminent political commentator, Charles Krauthammer elevated the opinion column to a form of art. Whether writing about statecraft and foreign policy or reflecting on more esoteric topics such as baseball, spaceflight and medical ethics, Krauthammer was beloved not only for his penetrating wit and insight but also for his ability to identify the hidden moral truths that animate our politics and culture.
Â
This new collection, which Krauthammer composed before his death in June 2018, features the columns, speeches and unpublished writings that showcase the best of his original thought and his last, enduring words on the state of American politics, the nature of liberal democracy and the course of world history.
Â
The book also includes a deeply personal section offering insight into Krauthammer's beliefs about what mattered most to him--friendship, family and the principles he lived by--all anchored by Daniel Krauthammer's poignant eulogy for his father.
Â
For longtime readers and newcomers alike, The Point of It All is a timely demonstration of what it means to cut through the noise of petty politics with clarity, integrity and intellectual fortitude. It is a reminder of what made Charles Krauthammer the most celebrated American columnist and political thinker of his generation, a revealing look at the man behind the words and a lasting testament to his belief that anyone with an open and honest mind can grapple deeply with the most urgent questions in politics and in life.

"This is a gift for a fan of Charles'. I'm sure he'll enjoy ready it, and me when he's done. Charles was a wonderful man. Question: Are the pages supposed to be pointy scalloped, or were they supposed to be flush/flat like other books are?"

- I learned that Australia has been the only ally to the United States in every military conflict since 1914. This is one of the many things I learned from the writings of the late Charles Krauthammer. He loved the island of Australia so much that he even married a woman from Australia. Krauthammer used a wheelchair for most of his adult life, and I have used a wheelchair my entire life. He believed that not every place can be wheelchair accessible, but that will not stop me from trying to enjoy life. He points out the Kennedy Center is completely wheelchair accessible. I will make it a goal of mine to go to the Kennedy Center to see a live performance after learning this. I am inspired by the Krauthammer's thoughts about Jim Dickson He is a blind man who attempted to sail across the Atlantic Ocean, but he only managed to sail to Bermuda. Dickson came up short in reaching his goal, but it did not diminish his enjoyment of sailing because he could experience sailing using his other senses. This is the kind of writing that inspires me to try new challenges.
Four Essays on Liberty by a British philosopher named Isiah Berlin is a book that he loved. Four Essays on Liberty is a book encouraged Krauthammer to learn from as many sources and experiences as possible as a young man. People who learn from many different sources are called foxes. People who learn from a primary source are called hedgehogs. I will strive to be a fox. Krauthammer advocated remaining calm at all times. He believed in self reflection, but he also believed that looking outwardly in the world to be successful. He shared this advice with college students in Montreal. This is great advice for people of any age. I really like this book. - Whether you agree with everything Charles Krauthammer believed in is of little relevance. You life and mind will thank you for the essays that will enrich your soul. Charles was a man of true and genuine thoughts, never allowed others to bulldoze him, but rather allowed others to enlighten him by truly listening and caring about what they had to say. He would then make up his own mind without bias and without an agenda. Charles' son, Daniel, who clearly respected and revered his father, did him a true solid by contributing to the book as he did - an obvious final goodbye and a true gift of love.
- More sage, personable,delightful, perceptive comments from the wisest, finest tinker of our era! Thanks to his son for his work in compiling this treasure of deeply valuable, thought provoking articles and observations!
- Just finished a wonderful book, unfortunately the last book written by Charles Krauthammer called†The Point of it Allâ€.
I have long admired his insightful writing, but this collection of his best articles and speeches is outstanding! His wit and wisdom is impressive and his writing style is easy to read, but best read with time allowed for reflection.
His intellect is on full display when arguing for conservative principles based on the Constitution. I pity the unsuspecting liberal who attempted to debate against him. I fully support his criticism of liberal thinking and specifically Obama, but I also appreciate his honest and critical comments when Republicans stray from conservative principles.
The diversity of topics he covers in the book was a sign of his personal curiosity, ranging from sports (especially baseball) to religion to domestic and foreign policy. I enjoyed his sense of history and his ability to relate current events in historical context.
I enjoyed his frequent criticism of his former career as a physician and specifically a psychologist. I generally find physicians need to be a bit more modest and better grounded to the limits of their “practiceâ€.
Loved his use of quotes from Churchill and his distain for the French.
I got rather emotional to read the last section, A life without regrets. To face death with grace and a full appreciation of what is really important in his life was his wife and family. I can only hope to handle my own passing with similar grace. - This wonderful book gives one insight into a man that had the ability to communicate with everyone. What he overcame in his life and what he did with his life should give everyone a more positive outlook on where they are in life and what they can do to make the world a better place.
- Mr.Krauthammer was a very inspirational man,I would watch him on Fox news whenever he was on as a political commentator.I stayed up late reading all his writings on baseball and politics ,he said it like it was ,didn't beat around the bush,I admire him for that.I will definitely recommend this book to family and friends.
- This is a gift for a fan of Charles'. I'm sure he'll enjoy ready it, and me when he's done. Charles was a wonderful man. Question Are the pages supposed to be pointy scalloped, or were they supposed to be flush/flat like other books are?
- I bought these books to give as gifts for Christmas, but the quality of this book is so poor that I hate to give as a gift. The paper is cheap, but mainly it is the edges of the pages which is not cut evenly at all. Very poorly put together.
