Description: From archaeologist to military leader, T.E. Lawrence is remembered for his exploits in the Middle East during WWI, with his successful guerilla tactics still emulated today. And who better to retell the epic story of 'Lawrence of Arabia' than a writer known as one of the world's greatest living explorers: Ranulph Fiennes.

Exploring the fascinating parallels between the experiences of the author and his subject, this is an eminently readable story of two memorable characters and a region of the world still reeling from the decisions made a century ago.

Good discussion - informative and thought provoking, due to its relevancy to the current conflict between Israel and the Arab States. Group were split in two with scores either 1.5 or 4.

Most really enjoyed, learnt, and enthused. Some found the history lesson not interesting - more maps needed.
