WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT FISK
'It ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language. As a narrative of adventure...it is unsurpassable' Winston Churchill
Seven Pillars of Wisdom is an unusual and rich work. It encompasses an account of the Arab Revolt against the Turks during the First World War alongside general Middle Eastern and military history, politics, adventure and drama. It is also a memoir of the soldier known as 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Lawrence is a fascinating and controversial figure and his talent as a vivid and imaginative writer shines through on every page of this, his masterpiece. Seven Pillars of Wisdom provides a unique portrait of this extraordinary man and an insight into the birth of the Arab nation.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Fine. First Paperback Edition Stated. 357 Pages. This is a used copy of a December 2014 Print On Demand (POD) edition in As New condition. Interior text pages are flawless. The print is small font reducing the size of the book. There are 122 chapters. This is the autobiographical account of the experiences of British soldier T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, while serving with rebel forces during the Arabian Revolt against the Ottoman Turks. The extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title popularized by the 1962 film based on his life. This book has been called a novel traveling under the cover of autobiography, capturing Lawrence's highly personal and exciting version of the historical events described in the book. It is one of the major statements about the fighting experience of the First World War'. Lawrence's younger brothers, Frank and Will, had been killed on the Western Front in 1915. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, written between 1919 and 1926, tells of the vastly different campaign against the Turks in the Middle East - one which encompasses gross acts of cruelty and revenge and ends in a welter of stink and corpses in the disgusting hospital in Damascus. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a complex work of high literary aspiration that some have said stands in the tradition of Melville and Dostoevsky, and alongside the writings o Yeats, Eliot and Joyce.
