Lawrence Summary

Lawrence: The Uncrowned King of Arabia by Michael Asher

TE Lawrence began the Great War as a map-clerk and ended it as one of the greatest military heroes of the 20th century. He altered the face of the Middle East, helped to lead the Arabs to freedom and formulated modern guerilla warfare. Yet he refused any honours and spent the rest of his life in near obscurity. Lawrence was a brilliant propagandist, rhetorician and manipulator, who deliberately turned his life into a conundrum, assuring his place as a mythical cult-figure for posterity. But who was the real man behind the masks? Desert explorer and Arabist, Michael Asher, set out to solve this riddle. In this major new biography, Asher discovers a hero whose greatness owed as much to his weaknesses as to his strengths.
