 An  inordinately complex man who has been labeled everything from hero,  to  charlatan, to sadist, Thomas Edward Lawrence blazed his way to glory   in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under  an assumed name. The story opens with the death of Lawrence in a  motorcycle accident  in London at the age of 47, then flashbacks to  recount his adventures:  as a young intelligence officer in Cairo in  1916, he is given leave to  investigate the progress of the Arab revolt  against the Turks in World War I. In the desert, he organizes a  guerrilla army and--for two years--leads the Arabs in harassing the  Turks  with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. Eventually,  he  leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the  power  of the Ottoman Empire.
