A Christmas gift from a neighbor. Not something I would have bought myself. Krauthammer is a Fox News analyst and syndicated writer for various publications. Leans to the conservative side of course (Fox news) and I certainly don't have issues with that. I read/listen to both sides. My problem with the book is that it is a collection of his editorial writings over the past 30 years or so. A lot of writings, most only 2 or 3 pages long. Covers a broad range of topics. Mostly political, some not. I do watch him occasionally and agree with him most of the time. Writings of just a few pages are not nearly long enough to put a point across on something like terrorism. Interesting but I never could get into the short opinion pieces.
Grade - C
