The fullest, most detailed portrait of Lawrence of Arabia yet to appear in print.
Apart from Winston Churchill, Lawrence of Arabia is probably the best known Englishman of this century. Yet until recently it has been impossible to disentangle the reality from the Lawrence myth; in death as in life he has remained an enigma.
Was his reputation as a champion of Arab independence, acquired during the bloody desert fighting against the Turks during the Great War, justified? When Lawrence was captured by the Turks id he really suffer the tortures and sexual assaults he later hinted at? Why did he seek obscurity in the ranks of the Air Force and Tank Corps after the war? What were the mysterious circumstances of his death in 1935?

Phillip Knightley was a special correspondent for The Sunday Times for 20 years (1965-85) and one of the leaders of its Insight investigative team. He was twice named Journalist of the Year (1980 and 1988) in the British Press Awards. He and John Pilger are the only journalists ever to have won it twice.
