A large tome for a LARGER man!
Published by Lou , 2 years ago
MOST biographies set up said person on a pedestal--a persona larger than life. If that is true of anyone, then indeed it is the moniker for Lawrence. Michael Korda's portrayal of him runs the gamut of ALL emotions.

Do not shy from the 700+ pages--you WILL be richly rewarded.
