"The key to a realistic projection of future events in the middle east was placed in my hand through circumstances not of my own choosing. 5 years of service during WW2 with the British Army in Egypt, Lybia, the Sudan and, finally, Palestine. This was followed by 2 more years of residence in Palestine as a civilian. During these years, I witnessed and participated in the tumultuous events out of which the present situation in the Middle East has emerged. since that time, I have maintained ongoing contact with people and events in Israel and the surrounding countries." --Derek Prince 1915-2003
