When T. E. Lawrence’s Seven Pillars of Wisdom first appeared in 1922 it was immediately recognized as a literary masterpiece.

In Seven Pillars of Wisdom we have a timely book, and one that will remain timely into the foreseeable future

In Seven Pillars of Wisdom we have a timely book, and one that will remain timely into the foreseeable future. In Lawrence we have an impeccable witness; not a diplomat, not a politician, not a lobbyist, but a scholar and a soldier who embodied that vestige of chivalry that has now all but vanished. He records what he saw and what he undertook, living among those warriors whom he led in a manner seldom experienced by any other officer.

Seven Pillars of Wisdom encompasses an account of the Arab Revolt against the Turks during the First World War alongside general Middle Eastern and military history, politics, adventure and drama. It is also a memoir of the soldier known as â?Lawrence of Arabia.â? Lawrence was a fascinating and controversial figure whose talent as a vivid and imaginative writer shines through on every page of this, his masterpiece. â?It ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language. As a narrative of war and adventure . . . it is unsurpassable.â?â?Winston Churchill

Kadar

Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a great book, and you should read it. BUT; the Wilder Publications version on this Amazon page (gray cover, paperback, with a painting of T.E. Lawrence in Arab regalia and with "The Complete 1922 Text" in White on a black background SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS!!!

Why?

This was clearly put together by some sort of scanned image to text program that has a ton of flaws! Punctuation, capitalization, and paragraphs are all messed up - some letters are transcribed into numbers - because of this some sentences are puzzling to decipher, the publisher should be ashamed!

This is especially terrible when one considers the amount of time T.E. Lawrence put into obsessing over the details while writing this book (punctuation, how paragraphs began and ended on specific pages, etc...)

I'm disappointed this review will probably be lost in the sea of appropriate praise for this book and more people will probably end up disappointed with this piece of crap.

Manesenci

Overall, I enjoyed the book, primarily the first-hand accounts of Lawrence's actions during WWI. It meandered quite a bit and was often confusing. The writing style is sometimes painful; it's not what I'd call an 'easy read.'

Having already seen the movie, it was interesting to see how Hollywood depicted some of Lawrence's allies. The story took place almost 100 years ago. I mention it because, even today, it provides several insights on the region which explain current middle eastern issues, from both sides.

At times, it is a rambling account of whatever seemed to be on his mind at the moment he wrote it. At other times, it was a very detailed oriented account of his actions helping lead the Arab Revolt. The problem is that it is very hard to follow the characters, who they are, their background. For example, if he wrote "I was surprised someone like Abdul would do this," you wondered exactly who Abdul was and what it was about his character, probably previously described, that made his actions a surprise. Also, in addition to having a list of major characters, I would buy an edition which has a MAP -- or you should have one ready. I found myself googling period maps to track his travels and his actions.

I'm thinking about purchasing the Lowell account to see if it is a bit more coherent in style and content since Lawrence's is a very compelling story, and I'd like to learn more..

The book is delightful. This Wilder Publications edition is terrible. I would reiterate the comments from these reviews: https://smile.amazon.com/Evolution-Revolt-T-Lawrence/dp/1495965481/ref=pd_rhf_se_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1495965481&pd_rd_r=4F0CBYC58Z75ZXRNWW9V&pd_rd_w=VpxAK&pd_rd_wg=wrfbt&psc=1&refRID=4F0CBYC58Z75ZXRNWW9V There are may serious errors in the text making it difficult to read. For example: Substituting "me" instead of "the" for every "the" for several pages; substituting "doth" for "cloth"; substituting "mends" for god-knows-what; missing punctuation; paragraph breaks mid-sentence. Try another publisher's version and avoid this one.

Colonel T.E. Lawrence, aka, “Lawrence of Arabia,” narrates his adventures in organizing and fighting Arab guerilla force that battled the Turks in World War I. In so doing he met and overcame many obstacles that ultimately enabled his unit to effectively support General Allenby’s conventional attack that defeated both the Turks and their German allies. His is a little-known story that deserves to be told.
To accomplish his task Lawrence first had to assimilate himself into the tribal culture that was Arabia of 1916-1918. He learned to speak Arabic, rode a camel, wore Arab garb and ate Arab cuisine. By doing so he convinced the tribes to put away their centuries old feuds and unite to fight a common enemy, the Turks.
Next, he battled overwhelming obstacles such as the vast, inhospitable terrain that was Arabia where supplies such as weapons, food and that most precious of all commodities, water were scarce. Taking all these factors into consideration he made use of all of them and effectively used them to his advantage against the enemy. His campaign against Turkish supply lines serves as a textbook for unconventional warfare today!
The mission of U.S. Army Special Forces is to recruit and train indigenous forces and, on occasion conduct direct action missions. British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill organized his Commando units for that purpose in World War II. President John F. Kennedy did likewise in Vietnam. Conceivably Lawrence was the inspiration for them both. He could rightfully be called the first Commando and/or the first Green Beret!
The campaign in Middle East is a little-known chapter of the first world war. Seven Pillars shows how guerilla forces can greatly assist conventional units. Recent conflicts in the Middle East have spurred renewed interest this coordination that began over a century ago. His is a great read that has great historical significance and contains valuable lessons for today!
