Description
Thomas Edward Lawrence's epic story has long been ripe for the retelling, but Ranulph Fiennes is no ordinary biographer. Having led Arab troops into battle on the Arabian peninsula in a war fought only fifty years later, Fiennes brings a unique insight into the kind of life that Lawrence lived.
From his first postings as archaeologist, liaison and map officer, to fighting alongside guerrilla forces during the Arab Revolt, Lawrence's journey is one of adventure, bravery and sacrifice. Fiennes' detailed access to records and in-depth knowledge bring this mysterious adventurer to life, revealing the full story of a man who captivated the world.
With a crisply written narrative, Fiennes recounts Lawrence's band of camel-borne warriors as they gallop through 600 miles of blistering heat to capture Aqaba on the Red Sea, along the way blowing up railway lines and enemy troop trains. A cracking story of one man's quest, Lawrence of Arabia is a true and full account of this legendary figure.
