<br/><br/> This new biography, by a well-known authority on Lawrence, is part fast-moving adventure story, part modern morality tale, and places special emphasis on the years of the desert war - the period that both made Lawrence and broke him. It also shows how the once haloed figure surrounded by hero-worship has increasingly come to be seen as a man of our time, to whom countless people can relate, not because he acquired what we now call celebrity status, but because he was prepared to relinquish it." "Illustrated with portraits, photographs, documents, letters in Lawrence's hand and extracts from his writings, Historic Lives: T. E. Lawrence presents a compelling portrait of a remarkable man.
