Revolt in the Desert is the extraordinary story of the war in Arabia
between 1916 and 1918, written by one of the war's most extraordinary
characters, Lawrence of Arabia. It tells of his adventures and life
amongst the Arab tribesmen, the daring raids on the Turks, the
demolition of railway lines, the attacking of desert outposts, and of
the opening of 'the road to Damascus' and eventual overthrow of the
Turks in the inhospitable landscape of the Middle East. Few had made
headway with the Bedouin and Arabs before Lawrence, but his strength of
character and his personality suited this war perfectly and he was soon
considered to be hugely important in the fight in the Middle East both
by his superiors and by the Arabs who rallied around him. This is his
story, from his viewpoint. T.E. Lawrence truly was a great writer on the
Great War.
