SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM 

by T.E LAWRENCE

Doubleday Doran, 1937.

First Edition.

This is the autobiographical account of the experiences of this famous British soldier while serving as a liaison officer with rebel forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks of 1916 to 1918. Although 'continually and bitterly ashamed' that the Arabs had risen in revolt against the Turks as a result of fraudulent British promises of self-rule, Lawrence led them in a triumphant campaign which revolutionised the art of war. Lawrence kept extensive notes throughout the course of his involvement in the Revolt. He began work on a clean narrative in the first half of 1919 while in Paris for the peace conference and, later that summer, while back in Egypt. With over 50 Illustrations.
