About This Item
285, [1] pp.This biography of Colonel Thomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935), better known as Lawrence of Arabia, was written by Lowell Thomas (1892-1981) and was intended for younger readers. Thomas gives a somewhat romanticised and popularised description of Lawrence's early life up to and including his involvement in the 1916 Arab Revolt. Lowell Jackson Thomas was an American writer, actor, broadcaster, and traveller. He is probably best known for his reports on T.E. Lawrence, who he - together with cameraman Harry Chase -, accompanied through Palestine and Arabia during the First World War. The present copy is undated, but was probably published around 1930.Very slight foxing to the outer edges and edges of the margins, hinges weak, reinforced with clear tape on the endpapers, spine slightly faded. Otherwise in good condition.
