The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War I was, in the words
of T. E. Lawrence, "a sideshow of a sideshow." As a result, the
conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of
adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors
of power.
At the center of it all was Lawrence himself. In early 1914 he was
an archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding
into legend at the head of an Arab army as he fought a rearguard
action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based
on four years of intensive primary document research, "Lawrence in
Arabia" definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern
Middle East was formed.
