Imagine you would not know about the first world war or about Lawrence at all. This book would be like this amazing war novel that just sounds a bit too surreal to be real.

Well, this book is based on the real story of Lawrence and what he did in the Middle East during the first world war. It is just beyond amazing what happened during this time and I realize that my own WW I knowledge is just very limited to the western front only.

I really highly recommend this book to anyone, to get a deeper view into the Middle East and what ground stones were laid back then that makes this area so messy right now.
