Abstract
William Yale was born in the Anglo-American power elite in the late 19th century. After graduating from Yale University (founded by one of his forebears), he joined Standard Oil Company and was sent to Palestine where he met Lawrence of Arabia, Chaim Weizmann, as well as leading Palestinians and Turks. He left Palestine when WWI broke out but returned as an intelligence agent for the United States government.
