A critical biographical enquiry about T.E. Lawrence and the legend(s) about him.' .... primarily an analysis of the career of Lawrence the man of action and of the establishment and growth of what I (the author) have termed the Lawrence legend.If I have found that the first was much less significance than is generally supposed,and the second was largely Lawrence's own doing,this is not to deny that Lawrence was a man of peculiar abilities.If 'The Seven Pillars of Wisdom' is to be regarded as a work of imagination rather than of history,it may well be considered by its admirers all the more remarkable for that fact.'
