Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, USA: Anchor/Random House, 2014. Paperback. As New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Near Fine Condition. Clean, unmarked, tight and solid volume, gently used, if at all. Military history, researched in depth, and at the center was Lawrence (1888-1935) himself. The Arab revolt against the Turks during WW I was a conflict shaped in large measure by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers--Lawrence called it a "sideshow of a sideshow". Lawrence had been an archaeologist in 1914, excavating ruins in Syria--by 1917, he was becoming a legend at the head of an Arab army fighting a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. And the author examines the complex politics of an era, and how the modern Middle East was formed. 577 pages with Notes, Bibliography, and Index. 6.2 x 9.25 inches. Anchor/Random House, New York, New York, USA
