"This is a memoir written by T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia") about his involvement with the Arab revolt during WW I.
Well, I only made it about a third of the way through this book. It was well written, with colorful language. However, I lost interest. I guess there was just one too many long desert crossings without much happening.
In the future, I may go back and try to finish it."
"When I was 10 years old and first saw David Lean's movie, I was so captivated that, at Catholic Confirmation, I chose St. Lawrence as my patron saint. Now, 48 years later, I am reading Revolt for the first time. I expected it to be over-written and hard reading. How wrong I was! For me, this book shows that Lawrence is among the most accomplished figures in all of recorded history. To lead like a Caesar; to write like a Hugo! Lawrence was a master writer; he attacks every chronicle with the eye for detail of an archaeologist, the personal insight of a psychologist and the flourish of a poet. I am so impressed, I am going to stop reading, order the mightier Seven Pillars and start again. And after all this, to merely seek anonymity as a lowly private in the Tank Corps! Lawrence is clearly one of those figures that not only can live up to the hype, but surpass it. A great man, a versatile man, self-effacing but assured."
"You can learn a lot about how we got where we are by looking at this book. Its a good story in and of itself but you also see something in TE Lawrence's (Lawrence of Arabia) allies that is revealing in our experience today. His introduction is particularly enlightening."
