摘要

Thomas edward lawrence was an extremely effective battlefield officer, a brilliant writer and military theorist, and protagonist in a personal drama that has captured the attention of people across the world. James J. Schneider has taken on quite a subject and produced quite a book. All biographers have to focus. Basil Liddell Hart, interwar England's foremost writer on military affairs, tried to establish a faithful narrative of events in Colonel Lawrence: The Man Behind the Legend (1934.) (He had direct help from his subject matter, a friend, who answered Liddell Hart's inquiries.) And, Harvard psychiatrist John Mack emphasized personal compulsions originating in birth out-of-wedlock, in his Pulitzer Prize winning A Prince of Our Disorder (1976).
