T.E. Lawrence
Lawrence of Arabia was many people in one: scholar, archaeologist, intelligence officer, guerrilla leader, diplomat, aspiring writer, and ordinary serviceman. Part fast-moving adventure story and part modern morality tale, this biography places emphasis on the years of the desert war.
Lawrence of Arabia
The exploits of T.E. Lawrence as British liaison officer in the Arab Revolt, recounted in his work Seven Pillars of Wisdom, made him one of the most famous Englishmen of his generation. This biography explores his life and career including his correspondence with writers, artists and politicians.
Lawrence of Arabia
A vivid and illuminating biography of the famed T. E. Lawrence, written by “the world's greatest living explorer,” Ranulph Fiennes. As a young British intelligence officer in Cairo, archaeologist and adventurer Thomas Edward Lawrence became involved in the 1916 Arab Revolt, fighting alongside rebel forces against the Ottomans. He made a legendary 300-mile journey through blistering heat; he wore Arab dress; and he strongly identified with the people in his adopted lands. By 1918, he had a £20,000 price on his head. Despite readers' long fascination in his story, Lawrence—one of history's most enigmatic adventurers—has long remained unknowable, But with in-depth knowledge of what it takes to venture into the unknown, this authoritative biography from famed explorer Ranulph Fiennes at last brings enthralling insight and clarity to this remarkable life.
Evolution of a Revolt
At the end of World War I, T.E. Lawrence was known throughout the world as Lawrence of Arabia, the prime mover of a surprisingly unified Arab desert campaign against the Turks, the "Emir Dynamite" of one of modern warfare's most effective guerrilla operations. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence's literary monument of these events, is one of the few twentieth century works of epic style and tone. Although he produced several preliminary versions, these were preceded from 1918 through 1921 by a series of now-it-can-be-told writings in newspapers and journals, half of them published anonymously. Brought together here for the first time, they in effect form a "first published version" of Seven Pillars of Wisdom in which Lawrence wrote far less self-consciously and did not strive so blatantly for literary effect. Instead, his style came naturally and he salted his narrative liberally with wry, aphoristic language and effective metaphor.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom is T. E. Lawrence’s memoir of his involvement in leading a portion of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman empire during World War I. The empire had joined the side of Germany and the Central Powers in the war, and Britain hoped that a successful revolt would take the empire out of the war effort. Britain had also promised the Arabs that, if they were successful, England would recognize a single Arab state. Lawrence convinced the Arab leaders, who had historically not shown a willingness to work ...

T.E. Lawrence
In this study, Stephen Tabachnick offers a distinct view of Seven Pillars of Wisdom and The Mint. Lawrence is worth reading both for the fantastic story that he had to tell and for the outstanding way in which he told it. Tabachnick subjects these autobiographies to a formal literary analysis, exploring Lawrence's life in his books, how he appears in them as a character, and how successful as art his characterization is.
