About This Item
New York: Paragon House, 1993. Hardback. Very Good/Very Good. Paragon House, New York, 1993. First Paragon edition. Book condition: very good. Corners very slightly bumped and a few pages a little creased at uppermost corner. Internally very clean. Dust jacket: very good. Unclipped. A little edge wear and some discoluration around edges. Using some previously unavailable sources as well as published material, Lawrence James reconstructs T. E. Lawrence's wartime career, examining how it was translated into legend during the 1920s and 1930s. The author argues that Lawrence concocted the infamous episode at Dera where he was supposedly tortured and raped by the Turks. James argues that Lawrence was a shocking fabricator. He also explains why Lawrence still captures our imagination as a man who controlled his own destiny, and as one of the world's last great heroes. A compelling if controversial biography.
