THERE is no more exciting story of modern times than T. E. Lawrence's vivid narrative of his Arabian adventure. In it is the thrill of battle, of secret warfare, of the bloody inspiring magnificent struggle for a desert empire. Almost single~handed, against the armies of the Turks and the myriad subtle dangers of the desert, Lawrence and his colleagues led the Arabs to victory and an immortal fame. SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM is the whole story of his defeats and his victories, of his epic campaigns, almost unparalleled in the history of warfare; and beyond the stirring martial note is the odyssey of a man's soul, the reflective wisdom of a great and inspiring man.
