A wealth of new research and thinking on Lawrence, the Arab Revolt,
and World War One in the Middle East, providing essential
background to today's violent conflicts Rarely is a book published
that revises our understanding of an entire world region and the
history that has defined it. This groundbreaking volume makes just
such a contribution. Neil Faulkner draws on ten years of field
research to offer the first truly multidisciplinary history of the
conflicts that raged in Sinai, Arabia, Palestine, and Syria during
the First World War. In Lawrence of Arabia's War, the author
rewrites the history of T. E. Lawrence's legendary military
campaigns in the context of the Arab Revolt. He explores the
intersections among the declining Ottoman Empire, the Bedouin
tribes, nascent Arab nationalism, and Western imperial ambition.
The book provides a new analysis of Ottoman resilience in the face
of modern industrialized warfare, and it assesses the relative
weight of conventional operations in Palestine and irregular
warfare in Syria. Faulkner thus reassesses the historic roots of
today's divided, fractious, war-torn Middle East.
