Most Americans know of this man because of the Peter O'Toole movie, LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. Although I've read several books about this unique man, I particularly liked the way Hourly History synthesized his essence in a bit more than fifty pages.

I don't remember so much information about Lawrence's early life and the profound effect his relationship with his mother had on it. Lawrence was one of those unusual people who turned life's lemons into lemonade. He was uniquely qualified to do his work, and it is a marvel that he decided to attempt such a role.

I've read several books about T.E. Lawrence over the years. This one was interesting till the last page.
