Abstract
Drawing on archival sources and incorporating new archaeological evidence, in Lawrence of Arabia’s War: The
Arabs, The British and The Remaking of the Middle East in WWI, Neil Faulkner presents a multi-dimensional
account of the conflict in the Middle East during the First World War with the centralised figure of T.E. Lawrence
providing the skeletal narrative. While Mahon Murphy finds this a vividly written attempt to understand the totality of
the conflict, he questions whether the focus on Lawrence obscures some of the study’s more interesting strands of
analysis.
