Seven Pillars of Wisdom

by T.E. Lawrence

Although T. E. Lawrence, commonly known as "Lawrence of Arabia", died in 1935, the story of his life has captured the imagination of succeeding generations. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a monumental work in which he chronicles his role in leading the Arab Revolt against the Turks during the First World War. A reluctant leader, and wracked by guilt at the duplicity of the British, Lawrence nevertheless threw himself into his role, suffering the blistering desert conditions and masterminding military campaigns which culminated in the triumphant march of the Arabs into Damascus.

Some men and camels roam the desert, shoot some Turks, eat some camels, bomb a railroad, and basically bored me to tears. This edition didn't even have his masochistic erotica and/or trauma depending on who you ask. I think I started this in 2020, just to give you an idea of how boring this book is.

[Patricia Tan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautifully written even on such a heavy subject. This version seems well narrated .
History, military history, geopolitics and the human condition. Wonderful observations of people and places around him and prose to suit.
Not suitable for those with little imagination but pretty unsettling stuff for those who do.
