A vivid and illuminating biography of the famed T。 E。 Lawrence， written by “the world's greatest living explorer，” Ranulph Fiennes。

As a young British intelligence officer in Cairo， archaeologist and adventurer Thomas Edward Lawrence became involved in the 1916 Arab Revolt， fighting alongside rebel forces against the Ottomans。 He made a legendary 300-mile journey through blistering heat; he wore Arab dress; and he strongly identified with the people in his adopted lands。
