Traveled to Jordan this year and many of the sites we visited had historical markers for, or shrine to, Lawrence of Arabia.
I barely recalled the movie having seen it once in college and have never read books by or about Lawrence. But I recalled when looking for more books by Robert Graves after devouring I, Claudius that he had written a book.
So this is that book and I realize now I made a mistake in reading this one first, I should have started with Lawrence's own 7 Pillars which I'm reading now.
Graves book is pretty dry and non-critical. Not the work I was expecting based off his later writings.
