---

Thomas Edward Lawrence first set foot on the hot sands of Arabia in 1909. By 1918 there was a 20,000 price on his head.

How did this fresh-faced archaeologist, liaison and map officer end up fighting alongside guerrilla forces during the Arab Revolt?

How did a slight man journey more than 300 miles through blistering heat to capture Aqaba?

And how did an unhappy outsider take a pivotal role in peace conferences to decide the future of the Middle East?

Explorer Ranulph Fiennes tells the extraordinary story of how Lawrence gave over his life fully to this land and its peoples, while making enemies of those who sought to subjugate it . . .

Lawrence of Arabia Bewertungen

Corking, rip-roaring, crisply written, full of extraordinary characters. We follow Lawrence's band of camel-borne warriors as they gallop through 600 miles of blistering heat to capture Aqaba on the Red Sea, along the way blowing up railway lines and enemy troop trains. An immaculate retelling of this cracking story * Daily Mail *
An excellent guide to a colourful life for readers who enjoy tales of adventure in the desert sands * Telegraph *
Praise for Ranulph Fiennes * - *
Fiennes' own experiences certainly allow him to write vividly and with empathy of the hell that the men went through. * The Sunday Times *
A valuable corrective to the trend of Scott debunking...One by one, and with the commendable attention to detail, Fiennes explodes the accumulated myths. * Sunday Telegraph *
Sir Ranulph Fiennes has done Captain Scott's memory some service...he has certainly written a more dispassionate and balanced account than Huntford ever set out to do. -- Simon Courtauld * Spectator *
Full of awe-inspiring details of hardship, resolve and weather that defies belief, told by someone of unique authority. No one is more tailor-made to tell [this] story than Sir Ranulph Fiennes * Newsday *
