Description
"Thomas Edward Lawrence, CB, DSO (16 August 1888[5]? 19 May 1935), known professionally as T.E. Lawrence, was a British Army officer renowned especially for his liaison role during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign and the Arab Revolt against Ottoman Turkish rule of 1916?18. The breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title which was used for the 1962 film based on his show more World War I activities."--Wikipedia. show lessTags

Hyde has succeeded in indicating the complexities of Lawrence's personality, capturing his originality of spirit, and suggesting his impact on the common soldier through the memories of servicemen who knew him. Hyde's account, unlike other biographers, is free of speculation or decoration. Through a neglected period of Lawrence's life, he has suggested a different character than what is show more popularly supposed — one at once passive and utterly possessed. show less
