T. E. LAWRENCE ("Lawrence of Arabia") (1888-1935) was a British archaeological scholar, military strategist, and author best known for his legendary war activities in the Middle East during World War I and for SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM (1926), his account of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks in 1916-18. Lawrence became a mythic figure in his own lifetime even before he published his own version of the legend. More than a military leader and inspirational force behind the Arab Revolt, he was a superb tactician and a highly influential theoretician of guerrilla warfare.
Medieval military architecture was his first interest, and he pursued it in its historical settings, studying Crusader castles in France, Syria and Palestine and submitting a thesis on the subject while still an undergraduate in 1910 (it was posthumously published in 1936 as CRUSADER CASTLES). In their famous survey of southern Palestine for the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1914, published as THE WILDERNESS OF ZIN, Lawrence and fellow archaeologist C. Leonard Woolley covered large tracts of the Negev Desert, studying monuments of numerous periods from the prehistoric to the Islamic.
SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM (1926) is an autobiographical account of his experiences during the Arab Revolt of 1916-18. With the support of Emir Faisal and his tribesmen, he helped organise and carry out attacks on Ottoman forces from Aqaba to Damascus. The book is replete with incident and spectacle, filled with rich character portrayals and a tense introspection that bares the author’s own complex mental and spiritual transformation. Though inexact and subjective, it combines the scope of heroic epic with the closeness of autobiography. Winston Churchill famously said the book "ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language. As a narrative of war and adventure it is unsurpassable." REVOLT IN THE DESERT (1927) was an abridged version of SEVEN PILLARS.
In 1922, Lawrence retreated from public life and spent the years until 1935 serving as an enlisted man, mostly in the Royal Air Force, with a brief stint in the Army. During this time, he wrote THE MINT, an unfinished memoir of his experiences in the RAF that was published posthumously in 1936. Its explicitness horrified Whitehall officialdom and the text never went beyond circulation in typescript to his friends. He issued two translations in his lifetime: THE ODYSSEY of Homer (1932), published under the name T. E. Shaw, and THE FOREST GIANT by Adrien Le Corbeau (1924), published under the name J. H. Ross. Finally, two collections of his correspondence and literary criticism (introductions, book reviews, and motley pieces), relatively neglected by his many biographers, are also included here.
