The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War One was, in the words of T.E. Lawrence, `a sideshow of a sideshow`. Amidst the slaughter in European trenches, the Western combatants paid scant attention to the Middle Eastern theatre. As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers & low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power. At the centre of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in the sands of Syria; by 1917 he was battling both the enemy & his own government to bring about the vision he had for the Arab people. Operating in the Middle East at the same time, but to wildly different ends, were three other important players: a German attache, an American oilman & a committed Zionist. The intertwined paths of these four young men
- the schemes they put in place, the battles they fought, the betrayals they endured & committed
- mirror the grandeur, intrigue & tragedy of the war in the desert.

Rarely is a book published that revises our understanding of an entire world region & the history that has defined it. This groundbreaking volume makes just such a contribution. Neil Faulkner draws on ten years of field research to offer the first truly multidisciplinary history of the conflicts that raged in Sinai, Arabia, Palestine, & Syria during the First World War. In Lawrence of Arabia`s War, the author rewrites the history of T. E. Lawrence`s legendary military campaigns in the context of the Arab Revolt. He explores the intersections among the declining Ottoman Empire, the Bedouin tribes, nascent Arab nationalism, & Western imperial ambition. The book provides a new analysis of Ottoman resilience in the face of modern industrialized warfare, & it assesses the relative weight of conventional operations in Palestine & irregular warfare in Syria. Faulkner thus reassesses the historic roots of today`s divided, fractious, war-torn Middle East. ...
