Lawrence, more famously known as 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Written, rewritten, and edited over a period of several years from 1919 to 1926, Lawrence recounts his time serving in the British Forces in North Africa when he was based in Wadi Rum. He describes his role assisting in the organization and carrying out of attacks on Ottoman forces and how the troops were aided by the support of tribesmen and men such as Arab leader Emir Faisal. Lawrence developed a close relationship with many of the native people and historians have speculated over the years that Lawrence's poem and tribute at the beginning of the work may be written for a young Arab boy from Syria, who died at age 19 just before the offensive to liberate Damascus.

This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.…
