E. Lawrence, \"a sideshow of a sideshow.\" As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the center of it all was Lawrence himself. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research, \u003ci\u003eLawrence in Arabia\u003c\/i\u003e definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Anderson is a veteran war correspondent who has reported from Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Northern Ireland, Chechnya, Sudan, Bosnia, El Salvador and many other strife-torn countries.
