Asher, an award winning British writer whose expeditions include a 4,500 mile trek across the Sahara Desert, on foot and camel, reintroduces us to T.E. Lawrence, the enigmatic "Lawrence of Arabia," through a biography that explores both the man and the Arab Revolt which initiated many of the myths surrounding him. He concludes after researching a number of these modern myths that "there could be no definitive Lawrence, but only an infinite number of Lawrentian images." Annotation c.
