About the book

T. E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom is his account of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War and of his own role in the campaign. Lawrence describes desert warfare, alliances with Arab forces, raids on Turkish positions and the difficult political and military conditions in which the revolt developed. The narrative includes the advance toward Damascus and the capture of Akaba, while also reflecting on Lawrence's relationships with his Arab companions and the demands of guerrilla warfare. Blending autobiography, military history and adventure, the book became central to the legend of 'Lawrence of Arabia' and offers a vivid personal perspective on the Arab Revolt of 1916-1918.
