Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the autobiographical account of T.E. Lawrence - also
known as 'Lawrence of Arabia' - of his service in the Arab Revolt during the
First World War, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
Although 'continually and bitterly ashamed' that the Arabs had risen in revolt
against the Turks as a result of fraudulent British promises of self-rule,
Lawrence led them in a triumphant campaign which revolutionized the art of war.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom recreates epic events with extraordinary vividness. In
the words of E. M. Forster, 'Round this tent-pole of a military chronicle,
Lawrence has hung an unexampled fabric of portraits, descriptions, philosophies,
emotions, adventures, dreams'. However flawed, T.E. Lawrence is one of the
twentieth century's most fascinating figures. This is the greatest monument to
his character and achievements, and formed the basis for the Oscar-winning film
Lawrence of Arabia, staring Peter O'Toole and Alec Guinness.
