Dear Dr Henry Kissinger,

Thank you for your letter of 18th May 1994, which seemed to have been delayed in transit through Pakistan Mission to the United Nations.

It would have been an equally welcome opportunity for me to have met you at Ambassador Marker's dinner. I am sure the loss has been mine. Meanwhile, I share your hope that there might be another occasion, in not too distant a future, for a get together.

With regards,

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

I have known, liked and admired Ernie May for twenty years, but based on a conversation that I had with you at Pocantico about a year ago on the book you were then completing, I sensed that he did your new book *Diplomacy* an injustice in his *New York Times* review. I am just now reading and thoroughly enjoying your book, and it confirms my initial impression. *Diplomacy* is a majestic book, sweeping in its tour of diplomatic history since the emergence of the nation-state system. And it is written with such insight and with an appreciation of history's patterns and paradoxes that it can be savored on many levels.

In particular, I am attracted to the way in which you try to explain European realism to an American audience and American exceptionalism to a European audience even while trying to reconcile the two perspectives in a post-Cold War world. What a shame that May did not try to attract potential readers to it!

Knowing of your interest in Latin America, I enclose a recent study that I did on the hemispheric and geopolitical implications of NAFTA. You might, in particular, be interested in my discussion of the comparative advantage of the three "panregions" (p. 16 ff.)

Congratulations on writing a superb and enduring work.

Dear Dr. Kissinger :

Thank you so much for agreeing to be a part of my Transition Advisory Group. In the weeks ahead we face a major challenge.

Together, we must begin the task of creating the foundation on which a new State government can be built. We must look for new and dynamic ways to solve problems that face all New Yorkers and work to ensure that the new administration is made up of the best and brightest men and women that this State has to offer.

I have made a commitment to the citizens of this State to bring about change. I am now relying on you to help make that change a reality.

Today, we will be releasing to the press information concerning our transition team. To facilitate this process, please immediately fax biographical information to the attention of Rob Ryan at my New York City office (fax: 212-370-0064).

Thank you for your commitment to change. Thank you for your commitment to New York.

PROGRESS REPORT

March. 1994

The Friends of George C. Marshall are pleased to report progress made in their quest to establish a $3.5 million memorial and visitor center in honor of General George C. Marshall, the greatest soldier-statesman of the 20th century. The Friends have...

★ Received a $500,000 legislative initiative grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to get the project underway.

★ Purchased property across the street from the site of the former Marshall residence for construction of the memorial and visitor center. The site has received considerable cosmetic enhancement.

★ Commissioned award winning architect Don Alvaro Leon and L.D. Astorino and Associates to design the memorial and visitor center.

★ Received endorsement of the community's political leadership on the city, county, state and federal levels, as well as the Pennsylvania Departments of The American Legion and The Veterans of Foreign Wars.

★ Developed a Business Plan to provide fiscal and strategic parameters, policies, guidelines and an activity schedule to develop and operate the center.

★ Instituted a broad-based development program to raise funds locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

★ Received approval from the Veterans Administration to solicit support for the Marshall Center in a mailing to 1.9 million veterans in March 1994. There is a good possibility that $100,000 or more can be raised in this effort.

★ Congressmen Murphy and Murtha have introduced legislation to issue $1 coins in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, and General Marshall's exemplary service therein. In 1995, several hundred thousand dollars could be received from this commemorative coin program if it becomes law.

★ Submitted a grant application to the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission for $46,000 to plan and develop a capital fund-raising campaign.

Dear Ms. McFarlane:

I called earlier this week to ask if Dr. Kissinger would lend his support to the **Friends of George C. Marshall** and was advised to brief you by fax on the campaign to honor the **General by building a Memorial and Visitor Center at his birthplace and boyhood home, Uniontown, PA.**

Specifically, we would like Dr. Kissinger to serve as **Chairman of an Honorary Board of Directors** and to help us recruit other influentials as **Honorary Directors**. We believe that with Dr. Kissinger's help we could assemble a board that could focus attention on the contributions General Marshall made both domestically and internationally. We would, of course, be sparing of Dr. Kissinger's time.

As you know, we are still today reaping the benefits of General Marshall's vision. He not only restored Europe after World War II, for which he earned the Nobel Peace Prize, but in so doing also began the process that is now leading to a unified continent. Here in the United States, he advanced the civil rights cause by spearheading the integration of the Armed Services.

The Friends of George C. Marshall presently comprise the civic leaders of Uniontown. I am involved in a pro bono capacity and am writing to you on their behalf. I've attached a one-page progress report outlining what steps the Friends have taken thus far.

We would be delighted to meet with you and Dr. Kissinger to describe in person plans for the **Memorial and Visitor Center.** Many thanks for your consideration.

Dear Shimon:

The books and your note dated October 25 have just now reached me. You must have thought I was a very ungrateful recipient of such largesse, not to have heard from me in three months!

But I am in fact most grateful. Nancy and I are going to Mexico at the beginning of February, partly to celebrate the completion of my book, *Diplomacy*, and at last I will have a chance to read for pleasure. I am an admirer of Amos Oz, but David Grossman and the poetry of Yehuda Amichai are new to me, and I am looking forward to reading them all. So perhaps they arrived at just the right time.

Dear Henry,

It was a pleasure meeting you again in New York to discuss the
recent developments in the Middle East.

I'm sure you recall that our conversation in New York turned to
the subject of modern Hebrew literature and that I promised to send
you some examples of the writings of some of our leading authors. I
have no doubt that you will be enthralled by the enclosed books
written by our foremost novelists - Amos Oz and David Grossman, as
well as by our most renowned poet, Yehuda Amichai.

These authors are internationally famous, in my mind rightly so,
since they represent the very best of modern Israeli intellectual
thinking. I would be happy to hear your opinion, of the books.

In the meantime, please pass on my warmest wishes to Nancy.

Dear Henry Kissinger:

Joe Persico particularly wanted you to see bound galleys of his new book, NUREMBERG: Infamy on Trial, and I'm delighted to enclose them. We're publishing in May.

He's done an extraordinary job of recreating the history, from the moment FDR's speechwriter and confidant, Samuel Rosenman asks Bob Jackson whether he'd set up the trials and prosecute for the United States, to the day eleven Nazi war criminals were hung. Given the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe, and given our increasing need for international tribunals and courts of law, this seems like a particularly important reexamination. I hope you'll agree, and that you might be willing to give us a quote for the back of the jacket.

If you do have time to read the book and have something to say about it, that would be enormously helpful. Flap copy is due on January 28, so we'd need to hear from you by then. I'm sending along an addressed postcard, or you can phone collect at 212 366-2715.

On behalf of the Organizing Executive Committee of the Diplomatic World Cup Washington '94 Soccer Tournament I have the honor to express our profound gratitude and satisfaction of your acceptance to become the Honorary Chairman of the Organizing Executive Committee.

We have gone through a good portion of the Tournament and at present we are heading towards the semi-finals and the final which will be played on the Ellipse in front of the White House this Saturday, May 21, 1994 at 3:00 p.m. As part of the great soccer celebration of Legacy Tour '94 in Washington area all the participating countries will stage a flag-parade before the grand finale and the Diplomatic World Cup will be awarded to the winning team to display it at its Embassy during the next 4 years until its second edition in Paris in 1998.

You can imagine how difficult it was to organize and promote such a Tournament but nonetheless we made an exciting start and now we are confident that the foundations of a good tradition in world diplomacy and soccer have been solidly laid. That is why we take courage to take your time and express our feeling that the presentation by you of this unique trophy of the World Diplomatic Community will be a great honor for all career diplomats and soccer fans and will highlight the spirit of diplomatic solidarity and integrity conceived in the idea of staging this grand Tournament with global dimensions in time and space.

The World Stage

DIPLOMACY. By HENRY KISSINGER.
Simon & Schuster. 912 pp.
$35.00.

Reviewed by PAUL JOHNSON

GOOD diplomats rarely write well about diplomacy. Ambassadorial memoirs include some of the worst books ever published. Castlereagh, Talleyrand, and Metternich, the three men who created the 1814-15 Vienna settlement, rightly praised by Henry Kissinger as one of the most durable works of peacemaking in history, left nothing apart from their voluminous papers, and for their views on their craft we are dependent on a few bons mots. By contrast, John Quincy Adams produced twelve volumes of *Memoirs*, and Chateaubriand's *Mémoires d'outre-tombe* is another Leviathan. But both are composed more of venom, spleen, hurt pride, and vindictive narrative than diplomatic adages—and, if truth be told, neither man was a negotiator of world class. In modern times, the writings of John Foster Dulles and Anthony Eden are unilluminating. George Kennan's books uneven, and the one outstanding memoir is Dean Acheson's *Present at the Creation*. But even that tells you what, where, and when, rather than how.

That leaves us with two authors—Harold Nicolson and Henry Kissinger. Both engaged in diplomacy with a passion for the art and with a view to writing about it later. Both studied carefully that perennial sourcebook of diplomacy, the Vienna Congress: Nicolson's *The Congress of Vienna* (1946) and Kissinger's *A World Restored* (1957) are the two best short accounts of it. Nicolson was brought up to the job. His father was head of

the Foreign Office and as a lad he personally delivered the British ultimatum to the German ambassador in July 1914; later he served under the last of the old-world Foreign Ministers, the Marquess Curzon. His writings on diplomacy are notable for their clarity and sense.

Kissinger, by contrast, came to diplomacy via academia and had to teach himself the silken ropes. Unlike Nicolson, however, he went right to the top where he acquired experience unique in his generation. He well knows how it feels to make lonely decisions. As Secretary of State, he also invented his own grandee diplomatic style, rather in the manner of the old cardinals like Wolsey or Richelieu. He had more aides than Richelieu had *monsignori*, and where Curzon took a private train, Kissinger had his circus pile into two or three big jets. Even Richard Nixon, no slouch when it came to display, once complained to me of the size of Kissinger's traveling entourage. But all this was deliberate. No man living, and few dead, have thought more carefully about the externals, the *impedimenta*, of negotiating.

Now, having already produced his two gigantic volumes of memoirs—and very good value they are—he has delivered himself of a scarcely less formidable study of diplomatic history and practice. The book's structure is complex. He begins by stating the fundamental dilemma of American foreign policy: the conflict between its instinctive idealism and its acquired respect for the realities of the world. In his next chapter he illustrates this by contrasting the two titans of the first decades of the century: Theodore Roosevelt, unashamed advocate of *Realpolitik*, and Woodrow Wilson, obstinate and tragic exponent of American idealism. It is Kissinger's contention that, with certain qualifications, Wilsonian idealism has triumphed in the 20th century as America, the strongest power, has committed itself, and persuaded others to commit themselves, to a

world order based upon the United Nations Charter.

HOWEVER, to say all that does not make a big book, and Kissinger is determined to provide one. So we go on a long historical tour, in which the author gives himself the pleasure of recounting, and pondering upon, the great diplomatic moments of the past. First he examines, in turn, efforts by Richelieu, William of Orange, and Pitt the Younger to conduct foreign and war policies based upon the concept of the balance of power. Then he takes another look at the Congress of Vienna: the notion of the neatly balanced major powers acting in concert to preserve civilized, undemocratic order. Next he has a look at "two revolutionaries"—Napoleon III and Bismarck: the one an overambitious buffoon running a fragile nation which broke in his hands, the other a "genius" in the business of matching aims to power—"Few statesmen have so altered the course of history."

Kissinger now turns to the decades leading up to World War I, showing how the balance of power in Europe turned dangerously rigid and how, in consequence, the powers constructed competing military alliances which in conjunction became what he calls a "doomsday machine." The implication here is that if Bismarck, or someone like him, had continued to run Germany, the war would have been avoided.

Kissinger has now reached the time of Wilson, and we have two chapters on the Treaty of Versailles, followed by one on the recovery of Germany. Then he shows how Hitler, a "demonic personality," brought about "the collapse of the house of cards which represented the Versailles international order." There follow two chapters leading up to the Nazi-Soviet pact and the opening of World War II.

At this point, Kissinger reintroduces America to the world stage, concentrating first on Franklin D. Roosevelt's "role in moving his iso-

lationist people toward participa-
tion in the war," which he thinks
"serves as an object lesson on the
scope of leadership in a democ-
racy." He has an interesting chap-
ter showing the three contrast-
ing approaches to peace of FDR,
Churchill, and Stalin; after this
comes one demonstrating the in-
evitability, given Stalin's aims, of
the cold war. He then takes us
through the last half-century: con-
tainment, its successes and limita-
tions; the Korean war; the postwar
German problem; the Suez crisis;
the Hungarian revolt; Berlin; and
three poignant chapters on the
tragedy of Vietnam. The histori-
cal section concludes with chapters
on Nixon's foreign policy, détente,
and the end of the cold war.

IN SUMMARIZING the bulk of Kissinger's book, I am anxious to demonstrate two points: first, the range of his historical interests; and second, the ingenuity with which all these different episodes are tied into his central theme of showing how men of good will, the heroes of history, have sought to contain the demons or fools by mixtures of *Realpolitik* and idealism.

Kissinger is a born teacher and
carries the reader willingly along
on his bumpy ride through four
centuries of complex war- and
peace-making. He has an eye for
color, incident, and character; he
summarizes well; and he keeps a
neat balance between narrative
and reflective analysis. He has read
widely and intelligently, and I
found myself both learning a lot
and stimulated into reexamining
some well-known historical turning
points. For those who have the lei-
sure, the entire book is very much
worth reading.

But to get the gist of Kissinger's
thinking on diplomacy one only
has to read the first two and
the last two chapters. The final
one, "The New World Order Re-
considered," is particularly valu-
able. Kissinger's deepest diplo-
matic instincts are those of a civi-
lized European. He regards the
Vienna settlement, which endured
for a century, as the most success-
ful in European history because "it
combined legitimacy and equilib-

rium, shared values, and balance-
of-power diplomacy." At the same
time, as an American guru, he rec-
ognizes that the idealist goal of a
stable world order based on liber-
alism and democracy has to be the
guiding principle of United States
policy. His job, then, as he sees it,
is to chart the pitfalls in pursuing
this goal, and to show how they
can be circumvented.

Thus his final chapter is a check-
list of warnings. In general: "The
domination by a single power of
either of Eurasia's two principal
spheres—Europe or Asia—remains
a good definition of strategic dan-
ger for America, cold war or no
cold war." On Russia: America
should encourage that country "to
concentrate—for the first time in
her history—on the development
of her national territory, which,
extending over eleven time zones,
from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok,
gives no cause for claustrophobia."
On Western Europe: recognition
that "Both the Atlantic Alliance
and the European Union are indis-
pensable building-blocks of a new
and stable world order." Eastern
Europe: tie the ex-Communist
states into NATO by a wider group-
ing, and then, "If Russia remains
within its borders, the focus on se-
curity would shift over time.""
On China: play down violations of
human rights and emphasize, in-
stead, "tacit cooperation on glo-
bal—and especially Asian-strat-
egy." On Japan: prevent its arm-
ing dangerously, and so frighten-
ing China, by maintaining "a sub-
stantial American military pres-
ence in Northeast Asia." The West-
ern Hemisphere: build on NAFTA
through GATT.

All this advice is reasonable, and
there is much more to the same
effect. Kissinger is always worth lis-
tening to, and a sensible man in
the White House will make a habit
of consulting this remarkable man.

But is there a sensible man
in the White House—or, for that
matter, in Foggy Bottom? What
the world needs today is not great
guidance in sorting out its prob-
lems but effective leadership in
applying that guidance. British,
French, German, American—and
now Russian—dabbling in the
Balkans has been a depressing ex-

ercise in ineptitude punctuated by
braggadocio, cowardice, stupidity,
and futile point-scoring. So far
only the Russians have emerged
with any marks for diplomatic cun-
ning. It makes one shudder at what
would happen if the West were
confronted by a real crisis.

Wisdom of the kind Kissinger
imparts in this book is valuable—
and I hope President Clinton will
find the time to read it—but it
is not enough by itself. Until we
find a new generation of heavy-
weights to replace Ronald Reagan
and Margaret Thatcher, the post-
cold-war world will continue to
drift alarmingly. For wisdom has
to be translated into action by will.

Please refer to my letter of July 20 about which your office kindly called ours a few weeks after the letter was sent.

The vice-chairmen of the dinner committee for the Institute's tenth anniversary dinner on Thursday, November 17 at the Metropolitan Club, 1 East 60th Street, New York, NY 10022-1054 (tel: 212-838-7400; fax: 212-755-6849) met a few days ago. I passed on the information from your office that you would be out of the country on November 17th and hence unable to attend the dinner, at which Karl Otto Pöhl will be honored.

I was asked to express our regret that you cannot be with us, to thank you for your kind willingness to send along a videotaped message, but to let you know regrettably that the format for our anniversary dinner is such that a video message would not be appropriate.

Should you care, however, to send a personal note of congratulations to Karl Otto for that evening, please be sure that I will deliver it to him personally. If you wish, send it to me directly here at the Institute or, if you prefer, to the Metropolitan Club directed to my attention or that of Ms. Philippa Forward, who is our consultant-arranger for the evening.

I know that Karl Otto will miss having you with us on November 17th, as will we all.

Dear Mr. Poleo,

A recent edition of *Zeta* magazine has just come to my attention. In it you reported that Miraflores was paying me $10,000 per month for my services as advisor and that President Caldera terminated the arrangement.

This allegation is totally false. There was never any advisory agreement between me, or my firm, and the Government of Venezuela. As a matter of strict policy, neither I nor my firm represent governments nor accept fees from governments. Accordingly, I never received any payments from Miraflores or the Government or President Perez. Thus, there was nothing for President Caldera to cancel.

I would appreciate you correcting the erroneous statement in your magazine.

I hope you will not think me remiss in not writing sooner, but your letter dated December 30 reached me only at the end of last month.

It was very thoughtful of you to send me the book of lectures delivered at last fall's symposium on population movements. The western Mediterranean has long been a crossroad of peoples and cultures, and no region has had a greater influence on human history nor will be of greater importance into the next century. I appreciated having a chance to read your remarks and those of the other scholars who addressed the symposium.
