This radically new perspective on T. E. Lawrence, the Arab Revolt, and WWI in the Middle East provides essential insight into today's violent conflicts.
Archaeologist and historian Neil Faulkner draws on ten years of field research in the Middle East to offer the first truly multidisciplinary history of the conflicts that raged in Sinai, Arabia, Palestine, and Syria during the First World War. Rarely is a book published that revises our understanding of an entire world region and the history that has defined it. This groundbreaking volume makes just such a contribution.
In Lawrence of Arabia's War, Faulkner sheds new light on British intelligence officer T. E. Lawrence and his legendary military campaigns. He explores the intersections among the declining Ottoman Empire, the Bedouin tribes, rising Arab nationalism, and Western imperial ambition. Faulkner arrives at a provocative new analysis of Ottoman resilience in the face of modern industrialized warfare. This analysis leads him to reassesses the relative weight of conventional operations in Palestine and irregular warfare in Syria-and thus the historic roots of today's divided, fractious, war-torn Middle East.

Pressezitat
"Seldom does a newly published book both enlarge our understanding of its subject and enhance our appreciation of its principal primary sources. . . . Lawrence of Arabia’s War is highly recommended as essential reading for students." —Bruce M. Garver, ID: International Dialogue, A Multidisciplinary Journal of World Affairs"The book is a remarkable achievement . . . driven by crisp, evocative prose [that] holds the reader’s interest . . . Recommended to anyone seeking a comprehensive account of the conflict in Greater Syria during the First World War." —John Calvert, Middle East Journal
"A lively history of the Arab Revolt that sheds important new light on Lawrence’s Seven Pillars as a reliable source. Essential reading." —Eugene Rogan, author of The Arabs: A History
"Though closely interlinked, the Great Arab Revolt and the Palestine campaigns are generally studied separately. Neil Faulkner's eminently readable account treats them in parallel, opening up a much wider context for Lawrence's Seven Pillars." —Jeremy Wilson, author of Lawrence of Arabia: The Authorised Biography
