NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A New York Times Notable Book * Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Biography * From the author of King of Kings comes a thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in 20th century history - the Arab Revolt and the secret "great game" to control the Middle East, including the infamous Sykes-Picot Agreement, that set the stage for decades of conflict. "A fascinating book, the best work of military history in recent memory and an illuminating analysis of issues that still loom large today."--The New York Times "Brilliant. . . .

Based on four years of intensive primary document research, Lawrence in Arabia definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. One of the Best Books of the Year: NPR, The Christian Science Monitor, The Seattle Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chicago Tribune.…
