Description
Wilfred Thesiger read this autobiographical account of the experiences of British army colonel T. E. Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia, who served as a military advisor to Bedouin forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks, 1916–18, as soon as the trade edition appeared. In 1964, he bought the 1926 subscribers’ edition, which in his words became “the jewel” of his library.
