In his classic book, T.E. Lawrence - forever known as Lawrence of Arabia - recounts his role in the origins of the modern Arab world. Initially a shy Oxford scholar and archaeologist with a facility for languages, he joined to lead the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks while the other world was embroiled in World War I. People believe Lawrence passionately, and his incisive portraits of key players, from Faisal bin 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 indispensable primary historical source.
