Book Reviews of Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph
Book Review: On the Seven Pillars
Summary: 4 Stars
The Seven Pillars is an excellent source for those grappling to understand middle eastern mindsets and customs (especially chapter 2). It also provides some excellent tidbits for thoe wishing to understand leadership although they must be dug for. The narrative drags in places with more geography and typology than one might choose. The language too is dated to the point of quaintness in places. All in all, worth reading, especially for those seeking knowledge of the fundamentals of insurgency.

Summary of Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph
Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the monumental work that assured T.E. Lawrence's place in history as "Lawrence of Arabia." Not only a consummate military history, but also a colorful epic and a lyrical exploration of the mind of a great man, this is one of the indisputable classics of 20th century English literature. Line drawings throughout.This is the exciting and highly literate story of the real Lawrence of Arabia, as written by Lawrence himself, who helped unify Arab factions against the occupying Turkish army, circa World War I. Lawrence has a novelist's eye for detail, a poet's command of the language, an adventurer's heart, a soldier's great story, and his memory and intellect are at least as good as all those. Lawrence describes the famous guerrilla raids, and train bombings you know from the movie, but also tells of the Arab people and politics with great penetration. Moreover, he is witty, always aware of the ethical tightrope that the English walked in the Middle East and always willing to include himself in his own withering insight.
