Lawrence
This biography of T. E. Lawrence tries, like so many others, to unravel the mystery behind the man who became the model for the film LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Lawrence was a soldier, explorer, and writer whose adventures in the Middle East became legendary. There has always been dispute and speculation about the historical truth of events he was involved in as well as about the character of the man himself.
