Notes
This is a relatively modern account of Lawrence's part in the Arab Revolt. The author also wrote "A Line in the Sand", so he was a student of the events during the war in this area; and he was a professional journalist who presents this account in a very accessible way. From an academic point of view, the book may not be the cornerstone of the many and various works about Lawrence, but that does not detract from its value in any way.
