This is a revealing, in-depth biography of the mysterious and dynamic Englishman whose daring exploits and romantic profile made him an object of intense fascination, known the world over as "Lawrence of Arabia". Korda aims to demystify and reveal the real man - T.E.

Lawrence - as he truly was. An Oxford Scholar and archaeologist, one of the five illegitimate sons of a British aristocrat, Lawrence was sent to Cairo as an intelligence officer in 1916, vanished into the desert in 1917 and re-emerged as the greatest and most colourful figure of WW1. A foreigner, he united and led the Arab tribes to defeat the Turks and eventually capture Damascus.
