T.E. Lawrence 
Seven Pillars of Wisdom 

‚It ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language.‘ So said Winston Churchill after reading T.E. Lawrence’s ‚Seven Pillars of Wisdom‘.The book, a mixture of autobiography and military history, tells the story of the almost ‚Boy’s Own Adventures‘ of Lawrence as he helped the Arab leaders in their revolt against the Ottoman Empire from 1916. The escapades were given global attention in 1962, when the movie ‚Lawrence of Arabia‘ was released. Very little Hollywood spin was needed. For the truth was extraordinary enough. Find out about sun-baked negotiations in the desert, near misses, friendship, tragedy and fierce desert battles.It is an autobiography that reads like fast-moving military fiction.-
