Lawrence of Arabia by Jeremy Wilson (1990, Hardcover)

One of the few British individuals that actually went out and did what they said they would do, kick butt. He did more in his lifetime than most 100 people would dream of doing, much less than actually doing it. I have read this book twice, so far and will probably read it at least 10 more times before I pass on. I could compare him to Sir Richard Burton(not the actor), which would actually make any sane person flinch when it came to what these two people did in their lifetimes. T.E. Lawrence is a one of a kind individual that happened to be there that actually liked the desert and the peoples that lived in that country and helped shape the events and showed them how to live up to their expectations and a will to take control of their own country. Jeremy Wilson took control of the reins when he wrote this biography that goes on to explain Lawrence's convictions and motivations about what the man was about. I could go on at length, but must not. Anyone who chooses to pick up this bio should have a great length at hand to read it and not without any interruptions, it is a MUST read, not to say the least.
