T. E. Lawrence, the man who inspired the iconic film "Lawrence of Arabia," has a fascinating biography written by Ranulph Fiennes. Lawrence's journey to Arabia began in 1909, and by 1918, there was a £20,000 price on his head. He served as an archaeologist, liaison, and map officer, and fought alongside guerrilla forces during the Arab Revolt. He traveled over 300 miles through blistering heat to capture Aqaba and was involved in peace conferences that decided the future of the Middle East. Lawrence gave his life to the Middle East and its people, and his epic story has always been ripe for retelling. Ranulph Fiennes is no ordinary biographer, having led Arab troops into battle on the Arabian peninsula in a war fought only fifty years later. He has discovered the wonders of these far-flung lands and the people who live there, and is one of very few who can claim a true insight into the kind of life that Lawrence lived. With detailed access to records and an in-depth knowledge, Lawrence of Arabia is a true and full account of this mysterious adventurer who captivated the world. The book is corking, rip-roaring, and crispy written, with extraordinary characters. We follow Lawrence's band of camel-borne warriors as they gallop through 600 miles of blistering heat to capture Aqaba on the Red Sea, along the way blowing up railway lines and enemy troop trains. It is an immaculate retelling of this cracking story.
