After all - there has already been 60 of them! Perhaps a brief, readable resume or analysis of the hits & misses in the previous works... But at nearly 800 pages this is hardly that. Rather Korda does it all over again - in often painful detail. In fact, the first 100 or so pages is most guilty of regurgitation - military affairs that have been discussed - infinite, elsewhere; when the great man did it - first & best, going on nearly a century ago (In "Seven Pillars" & elsewhere). What Korda does examine - somewhat more adroitly than most, is Lawrence's "nature". Of course, even that has been done to death.. Yet - for various reasons, other authors tackling this area - whether by prejudice, ignorance or homophobia or even the reverse (A determination to make Lawrence into what the author believes he was - or should have been. And then there's all the S&M fetishists (Is that a word? - if not I just coined it, cause it should be)!Well here we are - all these words and we haven't yet got to the point, i.e. is it good or bad? The problem, as you might have gathered, is a book this long and - to some extent, a tell all as much as a scholarly work and at this super length it can be both, bad & good! As other reviewers have pointed out - it does hit the mark - in many aspects and, as I agreed about others, it surely missed. But a 760+ page tome - about one of the most famous & heroic men of all time, needs to be GREAT! Korda can - and has, written great books. He has done a yeomans job here and if you care - as much as I do, for the man & subject(s) you need to get, read and enjoy this book. If you are not an enthusiast or only hold a mild interest, this book just may be a bit much...and probably isn't for you; even while being a great book about agreat man! ### ⭐⭐⭐ What a journey *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019* The journey of his is truly extraordinary and yet strange at the same time. The whole steps and thinking that he took during the archeology, war, uncrowned king fame, then post-war life with the burden by the fame of hero on him. His life was indeed interesting. And how his part did indeed shaped the middle east after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.On another side of the note, I think the book could cut down some fillers in my opinion. When the chapter starting to talk about his childhood I started to skim through. Then it was back to war...then I skimmed again in chapters about his postwar life with books and disillusioned moments. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michael Korda is an amazing writer and he didn't disappoint here at all other ... *by S***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2016* Michael Korda is an amazing writer and he didn't disappoint here at all other than at the end where I thought it dragged slightly.I picked this book up after enjoying Korda's book on R.E. Lee, released in 2013, so much. Found the same engaging writing style, thorough research, and mingling of fact, myth, and opinion to shine through in this book. I'm constantly amazed at how these biographers are able to weave so much into one congruent story. It's quite a talent and one that Korda should be very proud of. Writers like Korda, McCullough, Brands and Robert Dallek are national treasures.Specifically in the book.... his inclusion of the political scene leading up to the war was somewhat lacking, but this was a book about T.E. Lawrence, not the World and WWI as a whole I guess. His even-handed treatment of the Arab cause set against the back drop of the world's great powers was very fair and also very easy to understand. I had a significant amount of background knowledge heading into this book but even a person that wasn't familiar could have followed along without any trouble.I also appreciate the fact that Korda makes some eduucated guesses on subjects. I mean, after all, he spent what I can only think were years researching the subject. Who better to provide the opinion on things like... was T.E. Lawrence gay or just conflicted. And - as they said on Seinfeld - it doesn't really matter but it is just interesting to find out what a guy like Korda thinks on the subject.cCearly this is the book to be reading if you want to know more about Lawrence and Korda is fair, balanced, and thorough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/130851508-hero-the-life-and-legend-of-lawrence-of-arabia](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/130851508-hero-the-life-and-legend-of-lawrence-of-arabia) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
