Lawrence Of Arabia: The Authorized Biography Of T. E. Lawrence

Heinemann. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. 1989. 3rd Edition. Hardcover. 0689119348 . From Library Journal: Numerous books have been written about T. E. Lawrence since his death in 1935, particularly in the last decade. This volume is fuller and more balanced than its predecessors, drawing extensively on relevant documents, including recently released British government records and never before available Lawrence family papers. Wilson successfully depicts all aspects of Lawrence's strengths and accomplishments, including his development as a literary figure and his friendships with writers and political leaders, without either minimizing or overdramatizing his psychological and emotional weaknesses. Wilson's lucid and well-paced prose style makes his careful research fascinating. This detailed study may be too elaborate for the casual reader, but it will be essential for libraries with readers seriously interested in the period or the man. ; B&W Photographs; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 1188 pages; 33326 .
