SynopsisIn his classic book, T.E. Lawrence--forever known as Lawrence of Arabia--recounts his role in the origin of the modern Arab world. At first a shy Oxford scholar and archaeologist with a facility for languages, he joined and went on to lead the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Turks while the rest of the world was enmeshed in World War I. With its richly detailed evocation of the land and the people Lawrence passionately believed in, its incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal ibn Hussein, the future Hashemite king of Syria and Iraq, to General Sir Edmund Allenby and other members of the British imperial forces, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an indispensible primary historical source. It helps us to understand today's Middle East, while giving us thrilling accounts of military exploits (including the liberation of Aqaba and Damascus), clandestine activities, and human foibles., In his classic book, T.E.

Historical accuracy sprinkled with wit
excellent personal history of the North Africa campaign in first world war. T E Lawrence writes with wit and authority. Altho lengthy, the structure of the book is impeccably crafted in terms for grammar and vocabulary much of which is absent from current writers. The dash and splash of Lawrence's personality and illustrations lifts it out of the ordinaryBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
