Sterling Point Books《the White Arab, the Prince of Mecca》

How did one English man affect the outcome of World War I redefine the Arabia World and help determine the future of the Middle East?

It is the story of a schoolboy archaeologist soldier warlord intelligence operative diplomat best-selling author and even inventor.

Thomas Edward Lawrence. This man had a penis. He was brave tough brilliant and prudent. Most importantly he had the noblest dream.

He when necessary could be that lone-wolf type of man but in more cases he was a flawless leader and a trustworthy teamster. It seemed that he always knew the right thing to do.

Unlike the handsome one in the movie Lawrence in reality was rather short and dull-looking. But this doesn’t make him any less spectacular.

Here's a line from the dedicatory poem at the start of Lawrence's book "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" which helps explain his love for Arabia:

I loved you so I drew these tides of men into my hands

and wrote my will across the sky in stars

To gain you Freedom the seven-pillared worthy house

that your eyes might be shining for me

When I came.
