Seven Pillars of Wisdom : De Luxe Edition

2 reviews
T. E. Lawrence

Doubleday Doran, Garden City, 1938

Lawrence Of Arabia
Where the Iraqi insurgents learned guerilla tactics. Excellent, interesting reading about Lawrence's WWI experience in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria. The first guy to realize that you have to win the hearts and minds of the people to win the war.

A view of warfare from a bygone era
I will echo the sentiments of previous reviewers in extolling the remarkable style of Seven Pillars...the detailed descriptions of the desert and the bedu bring the reader right into the book. I was taken aback by the distinct differences between the book and the movie, even with having a good working knowledge of this era. For those who only know Lawrence from the movie, please read this book ...

The Mint

Lawrence E T

W. W. Norton and Company, Inc., 1963

A Treasure.
The Mint by T.E. Lawrence is a treasure. It is the little iron sided box of a book that he promised a friend he would make of his notes on joining the R.A.F. Lawrence chose to hide from his fame in the only place he now felt comfortable, the military ranks of fighting men. But there was no fighting now, the war was over and it was on to new things. The new thing that captured Lawrence's ...

Revolt in the Desert

T. E. Lawrence

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2005

Never Meant For Publication & Mass Distribution!
In 1919 A.D., author T.E. Lawrence wrote out in a 400,000 word book "the whole bitter account of his adventure (in Arabia) and of his disappointment over the conclusion which the Peace Conference seemed to put to it." Lawrence left that manuscript replete with notes and many photographs in a handbag at the Reading railway station which was then stolen from that location. Lawrence tried to ...

Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph (Penguin Modern Classics)

4 reviews
T.E. Lawrence

Penguin Classics, 2000

timeless classic of guerrilla warfare
One sees through Lawrence's eyes the failure of standard military doctrine and the success of classic guerilla doctrine. The pinnacle of the book arrives as he lays in his tent, pondering the aims of the Arab rebellion. Insights then flow which remind one very much of Sun Tzu's "formlessness" and "substance/vacuity" principles in the Art of War. I guess every generation has to learn the basic ...

T.E. Lawrence

Anchor, 1991

The greatest book I have ever read.
Reading this book will take you many places, though for the most part it all takes place in the desert. In just a few sentences Lawrence describes the migrations of tribes from the desert to the cities and back to the deserts until they are once again strong enough to conquer the cities and send their rivals back into the desert. This cycle has been going on for thousands of years. Lawrence's ...

Good Service
The book arrived in a timely fashion and in excellent condition (practically indistinguishable from new).

Business and Society: Corporate Strategy, Public Policy and Ethics

2 reviews
Anne T. Lawrence, James E. Post

Irwin/McGraw-Hill, 1998

This book was very well written and comprehesive.
Most textbooks do a very poor job of addressing current issues in a clear, accurate, concise manner. This book, however, is to be commended. I especially found the resource information and discussion cases to be a tremendous benefit. The discussion questions and current event topics encourage the students to explore these issues outside of class, in their businesses and in the community. ...

T. E. Lawrence, Thomas Edward Lawrence

www.bnpublishing.net, 2009

Fine book, lousy edition
(This review pertains only to the BN Publishing company's hardcover edition of T.E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom.") I bought this edition of "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" because it was the only hardcover version available at the time. I'm a big advocate of hardcover books, but avoid this one. I get the sense that the publishers simply took an old copy of the book, scanned it, converted the ...

Seven Pillars of Wisdom (CSA Word Classics)
T.E. Lawrence of Arabia

CSA Word, 2009

In writing his extraordinary account of the Arab Revolt of 1916?1918 and his own role in it, T.E. Lawrence sought literary advice from his good friends E.M. Forster and George Bernard Shaw. With their encouragement, Lawrence produced an epic manuscript that became the focus of a desperate public search after he lost the majority of the text in a train station. The original was never found, and the indefatigable Lawrence produced a second text ...

The Odyssey of Homer: Translated by T.E. Lawrence

Homer, T. E. Lawrence

Oxford University Press, USA, 1991

An Oustanding Translation
I hesitated in buying this translation of the Odyssey having grown up with verse translations, most notably that of Fitzgerald. A prose translation somehow put me off; it seemed like the very meaning of Homer's words would be rendered into something different. One day, I read about the translation that T. E. Lawrence had made and, intrigued, I decided to read it for myself. I was very glad ...

The Search for Mabila: The Decisive Battle between Hernando de Soto and Chief Tascalusa

1 review

University Alabama Press, 2009

Fascinating work on one of the great mysteries of 16th-century North America
Until I stumbled across a publication notice for this book in The Chronicle of Higher Education, I had never heard of Chief Tascalusa or Mabila, but the story sounded fascinating. The lost battlefield of a bloody conflict between Hernando de Soto's army and an Indian tribe (or two) defending their turf--who could resist? In many ways it is a sort of American Troy. I eventually ordered the ...
