Lawrence and the Arab Revolts - Osprey Men at arms series 208 - Lawrence of Arabia

The Great War of 1914-18 is often seen as one major battleground the Western Front with numerous 'side-shows'. The other battle zones were not side-shows to those involved, however, although the local inhabitants often fought for motives which remained a closed book to their European allies or foes.

David Nicolle relates the story of the Arab Revolts (1916-18), and discusses just how important (or unimportant) was the role of T. E. Lawrence in the affair, in a fascinating text backed by a fine collection of contemporary photographs and eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook.
