Lawrence of Arabia
Fiennes. Ranulph
From archaeologist to military leader, T.E. Lawrence is remembered for his exploits in the Middle East during WWI, with his successful guerilla tactics still emulated today. And who better to retell the epic story of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ than a writer known as one of the world’s greatest living explorers: Ranulph Fiennes.
Exploring the fascinating parallels between the experiences of the author and his subject, this is an eminently readable story of two memorable characters and a region of the world still reeling from the decisions made a century ago.

"Extremely relevant today as a background to the Arab-Israeli conflict."
"This is not the first biography of TE Lawrence, but this one is special because Fiennes, also an adventurer, is able to give his own experiences. Most interesting and very well-documented."
