London England: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1990. Hardback. First Edition. The Golden Warrior. Price clipped to D/J. Controversial and provocative, this biography penetrates and overturns the mythology which surrounds T. E. Lawrence but is dispassionate and generous in spirit throughout. Using unpublished and often hitherto unavailable sources in Britain and France, the author reconstructs Lawrence's wartime career, analyses how it was translated into legend during the 1920s and 30s, and assesses Lawrence's contribution to his own myth. His gallantry and charm: his fabrications and those of his past biographers disappear. The author provides documentary evidence that Lawrence concoted the story of his homosexual rape and torture at Dera. He analyses his willingness to exploit his post in British Intelligence to further his private ambitions for the Arabs; he documents Lawrence's involvement in efforts to subvert the Turkish army in Iraq; his dependence on the ideas of his superiors, his secret manoeuvres against the French, his false accounts of the campaign which led to the capture of Damascus. He traces how Lawrence used and contributed to his pwn legend, and how the myth of the so-called betrayal of the Arabs by the British has coloured the subsequent history of the Middle East. The author provides a compact and fascinating narrative. He does not accept everything that Lawrence wrote as true: instead, he probes motives and asks questions. His book is bound to reopen debate and interest in one of the most remarkable men of this century. Including 16 pages black and white illustrations. 404 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
