Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. London: Jonathan Cape, 1955. 206pp. 4to. Blue cloth. Gilt lettering on spine. Very clean within. Includes good dust jacket. Very good. From the dust jacket: "When in 1922 T.E. Lawrence enlisted in the ranks of the R.A.F. under the name of John Hulme Ross, he was in a strange physical and mental state as the result of his war experiences. Upon the discovery of his identity he was discharged, but was allowed to re-enlist two and a half years later, this time using the name of Shaw, under which he had meanwhile served in the Tank Corps. From his notes, many times re-written and revised, he constructed The Mint - 'an iron, rectangular, abhorrent book,' he called it, 'one which no man would willingly read.' It does not correspond to that description. In the main it is a highly subjective account of Lawrence's life in the R.A.F. Though resentfully critical of the treatment to which he and other recruits were subjected, it is not self-pitying. It is often robustly entertaining, and the character sketches are brilliant examples of Lawrence's literary skill. He had an acute ear for conversation: in fact, some of the dialogue so faithfully records habitual barrack-room words that it has been deemed inadvisable to reproduce them in the ordinary edition of the book.".…
