Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence - Wordsworth Classics of World Literature | Historical Memoir & Adventure Book | Perfect for History Buffs, Book Collectors & Middle East Studies

After reading some of the reviews I was not at all sure how this read would turn out but I very much enjoyed T.E. Lawrence as an author. I generally found this a very interesting insight into what was going on during the Arab Revolt, something I have been curious about ever since seeing 'the movie'. I am contemplating going to Jordan to visit 'Lawrence' sites so this is on the reading list and I am glad to have read it. I could scarcely put this book down, however, for an American, it is a little difficult at times deciphering the British style verbiage of 100 years ago. An American dictionary is not always of help given Lawrence's 'turn-of-phrase' every now and again, but this is part of the charm of T.E. Lawrence I suppose. The intelligence and both mental and physical toughness of the man comes through very powerfully in his writing. I regard this as one of the most interesting and important books I have ever read and can easily understand why it continues in print.
