Book Reviews of Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph
Book Review: As Confronting As It Is Poetic And Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
TE Lawrence (1888-1935) the British soldier, poet and scholar wrote this insightful personal account of the Arab Revolt based on his war journals which is as confronting as it is poetic and beautiful. How could one not be enthralled by the writings and perspectives of a fine intellectual mind tormented by the reality of war and hypocrisy? What makes this book unique and powerful is Lawrence's sensibility as a poet and a soldier. Even if you are not into war history, this is a riveting book you can't afford to miss.Book Review: Stylistic autobiography with insight
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. TE Lawrence was not only a gifted tactician/strategist but also a scholar of the highest order. His writing style is rich and descriptive avoiding the dry pitfalls sometimes associated with autobiographies. The story of the Arab revolt from the man who helped shape and guide it is an invaluable resource to have. TE Lawrence's thoughts on irregular/unconventional warfare are insightful and still lessons to be rememembered today. An enjoyable and insightful read- perfect for any military history collection.Book Review: Unbelievable adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is hard to believe that one person experienced this much adventure. It is a true epic! This is a work of historical significance for contemporary times. Col. Lawrence's tremendous way of writing let's the reader see the beauty he saw in the Arabian desert. It makes the reader heartsick as one shares in the deep guilt that Lawrence felt during his participation in what he perceived as a lie. It's hard to put this book down. History lovers or war buffs will love this book!Book Review: Beyond Triumph

Through his eyes and mind you are involved totally in one of the greatest events in western civilization. Which all being extreemly accurate and living.

Summary: 5 Stars
Lawrence sets the standard concerning leadership and success. A "dreamer of the day" is the one to be feared and respected.Military officers: If you haven't read and studied this book, you certainly cannot call yourself a student of the art. In addition to being a literary classic, this book is an effective treatise on unconventional warfare, and it is the bible for intercultural military relations.
