Daniel Krauthammer: ‘I Really Wanted the World to Know This Incredible, Wonderful, Deeply Good, Part of Him’

‘We’re getting through, and being able to finish this book for him and have the world see it means a lot to us’

EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "I think — I mean, he was a wonderful man in so many ways and I think it does come through a lot, I think, in his writing and on TV, his wit, his intelligence, his wry sense of irony and humor. But I think he didn’t wear his emotions on his sleeve a lot and so I think one of the things, one of the reasons I decided to put a lot of these more personal sections in the book was that now that he is gone, I felt I really wanted the world to know this incredible, wonderful, deeply good, part of him. Because I know that he really touched a lot of people’s lives in a way that I frankly didn’t even know about until these last months when people would come forward and talk to me. I really felt not just for him, but for everyone else who wanted to know more that this would be a good thing to do."
