Colonel Richard Kemp
A Man of Valor, on and off the battlefield By Cindy Saltzman

olonel Richard Kemp has spent the majority of his adult life commanding British troops on the front line of many of the world’s most dangerous battles including Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan to name a few. Currently, he consults on intelligence, counter-terrorism, and defense. In addition, he is an author, journalist, and media commentator. Though not Jewish, he has always been a strong advocate for Israel. While the world watched in horror as Hamas brutally attacked Israel, Col. Kemp has been a witness. Despite the constant barrage of missiles, Colonel Kemp generously took the time to speak with me by phone as missiles continued to fly above him. [Comments have been edited for clarity]
