Reply to comment by anunderdog in Revealed: TE Lawrence felt ‘bitter shame’ over UK’s false promises of Arab self rule by Aboveground_Plush
Didn't know the wrote it twice fact I read the book many, many years ago as I found TE Lawrence an intriguing character who came out of a unassuming position to become a leader of so many disparate groups in the region.

Yes. His story is fascinating. I saw David Lean's film when I was young and was inspired by it. The film is so much more exciting, but the book is obviously more accurate and insightful. I was quite disappointed when I found out Lawrence wasn't actually in the charge of Aquaba because he accidentally shot his camel 🐪
