One the "most famous book of our generation, brilliant as the account of a military campaign, fascinating as a revelation of the author's complex personality. In prose reminiscent of Doughty and the Elizabethans, Lawrence unfolds his personal story of the whirlwind campaign that drove the Turks out of Arabia and Syria, back beyond Jerusalem and Damascus."
In 1939 Lawrence's magnum opus was selected as one of the first six titles in a new publishing venture - Britain's first major book club, which offered works under two imprints, the Reprint Society and World Books.
