Beschreibung

This is the autobiographical account of the experiences of this famous British soldier while serving as a liaison officer with rebel forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks of 1916 to 1918. Although 'continually and bitterly ashamed' that the Arabs had risen in revolt against the Turks as a result of fraudulent British promises of self-rule, Lawrence led them in a triumphant campaign which revolutionized the art of war. Lawrence kept extensive notes throughout the course of his involvement in the Revolt. He began work on a clean narrative in the first half of 1919 while in Paris for the peace conference and, later that summer, while back in Egypt. / With over 50 Illustrations & 4 maps. / A cloth bound '1st trade edition' hardback, in good condition-cloth to the book is a little faded. The bottom of the spine is bumped. (672 pages). This is a heavy book nearly 2kg, so there will be an extra postage charge. (Originally printed in 1926). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 8800
