Product Description:
“Barr turns history into a drama, with bright writing and a fascinating cast of characters.” —Mary Foster, Associated Press T. E. Lawrence’s classic Seven Pillars of Wisdom made the Arab revolt a legend and helped turn him into the mythical “Lawrence of Arabia.” Setting the Desert on Fire is both a masterly account of the intrigue behind the revolt and its startling consequences for the present-day Middle East and a portrait of Lawrence that brings fresh insight to the true nature of the master mythmaker. 31 photos; 3 maps.

This is an interesting account of TELawrence in the desert with more information then I really needed to know but all in all well worth the read. Good geograhphy of the Saudi desert and mountains. The accounts of TEL gives a different view of a difficult man who had many issues with himself and others.
Definitely recommended for those who want details and an expert account of TEL.

A well written history of the Arab revolt that illuminates some of the background maneuvering of the British involvement in the Middle East. It gives you a better understanding of the roots of the problems western governments are now having earning the trust of the Arab peoples.
