Book Overview

This book, originally written in 1919, was printed for the author and his friends, not for general publication. Lawrence abridged the original work and the present volume is about one-half the size of the original. Lawrence stated that if he was asked why he had abridged an unsatisfactory book instead of recasting it as a history, he would plead that to do so nice a job in the barracks which were his home since 1922 would need a degree of concentration amounting in an airman to moroseness; and an interest in the subject which was exhausted long ago in the actual experience of it.

"Shakespeare Moderne"- Arguably one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century. "Not a wast

Okay, a bold title deserves justification. The worst one could say of T.E. Lawrence is that he was an iconic British hero. I won't slather this book review with biographical fodder, but will instead, review said book. In "Revolt in the Desert", Lawrence shows his mastery of language that rivaled the greatest English writers of all time. This abridged version of "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is a glimpse into a shadow of...

A classic, though strange and oddly written

T.E. Lawrence was an unusual character. The bastard son of an Anglo-Irish baronet and a serving girl, he attended Oxford and earned a degree in history and archaeology. Those degrees led to a position on an archaeological dig in what was then part of the Ottoman Empire. He learned the language, and adopted their mode of dress, and learned everything from customs to how to ride and fight. When World War I started, Lawrence...

Never Meant For Publication & Mass Distribution!

In 1919 A.D., author T.E. Lawrence wrote out in a 400,000 word book "the whole bitter account of his adventure (in Arabia) and of his disappointment over the conclusion which the Peace Conference seemed to put to it." Lawrence left that manuscript replete with notes and many photographs in a handbag at the Reading railway station which was then stolen from that location. Lawrence tried to recount what he had wrote, but he...

Exciting and enjoyable

Very different that the "Lawrence of Arabia" movie. An exciting and enjoyable first hand account of the arab revolt against Turkey in World War I. Although it's hard to keep track of who is who and what is where, the writing and descriptions of the desert, the arabs and the action make it very worthwhile.

Revolt in the Desert

How can you give only a four star rating to a piece of first hand historical evidence? After all the author was also the man that helped lead and coordinate the arab revolt.Any student of Lawrence will be able to tell you that the version of 'Revolt in the Desert' that finally reached the public was a heavily censored sanitised version of what really happened. Lawrence himself has been reported by contemporary sources...
