E. Lawrence, a sideshow of a sideshow. As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the center of it all was Lawrence himself. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research, \u003ci\u003eLawrence in Arabia\u003c\/i\u003e definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49520849027345,"sku":"GOR009421109","price":18.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49541309989137,"sku":"GOR007032374","price":18.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611358699793,"sku":"GOR013417092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49684351090961,"sku":"CIN038553292XG","price":6.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49748616610065,"sku":"CIN038553292XA","price":5.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49782464413969,"sku":"CIN038553292XVG","price":7.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50653966270737,"sku":"GOR011191191","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/038553292X.jpg?v=1750781769","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/lawrence-in-arabia-book-scott-anderson-9780385532921","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
