About This Book

A concise biographical and critical study of T. E. Lawrence that reconstructs his participation in the Arab uprising, describes military campaigns and political negotiations, and probes his complex personality and motivations. The account synthesizes firsthand testimony, the subject's own writings, maps, and illustrations to present a continuous narrative, discusses relationships with Arab leaders and foreign officials, and evaluates sources and limits of available evidence. The author balances narrative detail with critical commentary to clarify events and to offer an assessment of the subject's character and public image.
