Lawrence and the Arab revolts : warfare and soldiers of the Middle East 1914-18

The Great War of 1914-18 is often seen as one major battleground – the Western Front – with numerous 'side-shows'. The other battle zones were not side-shows to those involved, however, although the local inhabitants often fought for motives which remained a closed book to their European allies or foes. David Nicolle relates the story of the Arab revolts, and discusses just how important (or unimportant) was the role of T. E. Lawrence in the affair, in a fascinating text backed by a fine collection of contemporary photographs and eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook. 00-cover.jpg......Page 1 01.jpg......Page 2 02.jpg......Page 3 03.jpg......Page 4 04.jpg......Page 5 05.jpg......Page 6 06.jpg......Page 7 07.jpg......Page 8 08.jpg......Page 9 09.jpg......Page 10 10.jpg......Page 11 11.jpg......Page 12 12.jpg......Page 13 13.jpg......Page 14 14.jpg......Page 15 15.jpg......Page 16 16.jpg......Page 17 17.jpg......Page 18 18.jpg......Page 19 19.jpg......Page 20 20.jpg......Page 21 21.jpg......Page 22 22.jpg......Page 23 23.jpg......Page 24 24.jpg......Page 25 25a.jpg......Page 26 26b.jpg......Page 27 27c.jpg......Page 28 28d.jpg......Page 29 29e.jpg......Page 30 30f.jpg......Page 31 31g.jpg......Page 32 32h.jpg......Page 33 33.jpg......Page 34 34.jpg......Page 35 35.jpg......Page 36 36.jpg......Page 37 37.jpg......Page 38 38.jpg......Page 39 39.jpg......Page 40 40.jpg......Page 41 41.jpg......Page 42 42.jpg......Page 43 43.jpg......Page 44 44.jpg......Page 45 45.jpg......Page 46 46.jpg......Page 47 47.jpg......Page 48 48.jpg......Page 49 49-back.jpg......Page 50
