"great insight on the Middle Eastern mindset. How all of the artificial country boundary and religious strata only served to mangle politics and descends into the instability of the region until this day. a true mind opener and clarifier."
"Not for everyone. But for the melancholy historian able to wander through 700+ pages, there is no better or more beautiful reflection on cultural differences, the desert, and the futility of war. A powerfully ironic memoir."
"Lawrence's Insurgent Odyssey through the Hedjaz is tinged with just the slightest hints of homoeroticism. Lawrence was the kind of remarkable person who found his place in history and once the moment of glory faded he had the mind to get into a fatal motorcycle accident.
Interesting factoid: The doctor who worked on T.E. Lawrence later went on to develop the first motorcycle helmet."

"I am absolutely delighted with this copy of one of the great works of English literature. It is a 1935 edition which contains not only illustrations and maps, but also excerpts of correspondence between Thomas E. Lawrence (hadn't know his name was Thomas until I got this copy) and his publisher which shows his great sense of humor.
If you can get a copy of this edition, do so while there are still some available."
