NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER โ€ข A powerful collection of the influential columnistโ€™s most important worksโ€”featuring rare speeches, a major essay about todayโ€™s populist movements and the future of global democracy, and a new preface by the authorโ€™s son

In his decades of work as Americaโ€™s preeminent political commentator, whether writing about statecraft and foreign policy or reflecting on more esoteric topics such as baseball, spaceflight and medical ethics, Charles Krauthammer elevated the opinion column to a form of art.

The Point of It All: A Lifetime of Great Loves and Endeavors is a collection featuring the columns, speeches and unpublished writings that showcase the best of Charles Krauthammer’s original thought and his last, enduring words on the state of American politics, the nature of liberal democracy and the course of world history. The book also includes a deeply personal section offering insight into Krauthammerโ€™s beliefs about what mattered most to him: friendship, family and the principles he lived by.

The Point of It All is a timely demonstration 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

โ€œFor decades, Charlesโ€™ words have strengthened our democracy. His work was far-reaching and influential – andโ€ฆhis ideas and values will always be a part of our country.โ€ โ€”George W. Bush

โ€œCharles will be remembered as one of the greatest public intellects of his generation. A true renaissance man, there was no topic too complex for Charles to probe; no party or politician too powerful to challengeโ€ฆIโ€™m confident his words will continue to inspire all of us to live bravely and think boldly.โ€ โ€”John McCain

โ€œCharles wrote for the right reasons. โ€ฆ To provoke us to think, to enlarge our understanding, at times to make us laugh. Like few others, he succeeded, week after week, Friday after Friday, year after yearโ€ฆ he wrote a column of breathtaking range and intelligence and integrity.โ€ โ€”The Washington Post

“A giant, a man who not only defended our civilization but represented what’s best in it.” โ€”National Review

โ€œA voice of reason and a powerful intellect in Democracyโ€™s cause.โ€ โ€”Condoleezza Rice

โ€œThere are people you meet throughout your life that you just know will leave an impact forever. Charles Krauthammer was one of those people. His words and his knowledge and his eloquence on the issues of the day were unsurpassed. He could cut through the noise. He could get to the point better than anybody.โ€ โ€”Bret Baier

โ€œThe Point of It All is very wide-ranging, a true Krauthammer sampler. This is Krauthammer in full, or very nearly so. It is a book that says, ‘This is what he believed. This is who he was.’ As such, it is invaluable.โ€ โ€”Jay Nordlinger
