Lawrence
of Arabia and His World
In
October 1917 Great Britain had been at war with Germany for
three years; as part of that war she had encouraged and supported
an Arab Revolt against German's ally Turkey. A young Englishman,
Thomas Edward Lawrence, was blowing up Turkish trains on the
Damasuc-Medina railway line, and rumours of his success were
spreading rapidly through the scattered Arabian tribes. 'Send
us a lurens', wrote one of the Beni Atiyeh tribe to the Emir
Feisal, one of the leaders of the Revolt, 'and we will blow
up trains with it.' 'Lurens' became a legend not only in Arabia,
but in the west, and the story of his life has fascinated
readers and writers ever since.
T.E.Lawrence: more information about him will be added here soon
