Dear colleagues,
I would be extremely thankful if you could help me locate the following quote in Henry Kissinger's classic, 'Diplomacy':

A clear definition of the national interest needs to be an equally essential guide to American policy.

I have the translation of this book. However, without knowing at least, in which chapter/section this quote is, it is virtually impossible to find the correct translation. Thanks in advance!

Margus

I searched for it in Google Books and couldn't find anything. Is your quote a translation from another language?

Thanks for nothing May 7, 2021

Yet another case of 'user asks for help and then disappears'.
Very annoying.

Annoying? Maybe. Surprising? Nope May 7, 2021

Barbara:

Consider that the OP had not been able to find the proper link that you and I found in less than 1 minute.
