E. Lawrence,  a sideshow of a sideshow.  As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the center of it all was Lawrence himself. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research, \u003ci\u003eLawrence in Arabia\u003c\/i\u003e definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of the Best Books of the Year: \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNPR, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Christian Science Monitor, The Seattle Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53940464222546,"sku":"9780307476418","price":22.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_2f86b077-6c7f-43c5-beca-5c8159444ba1.jpg?v=1783358195","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/lawrence-in-arabia-1","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
