NY: Oxford University Press, 1966. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket. Suleiman presents numerous corrections to the standard view of Lawrence and MidEast history. Also describes what happened after the Arabs had aided the British to win the war. At that point the Arabs effectively had lost because the territory was divided between the British and the French - during which T.E. Lawrence showed his true colors by advising the Arabs to sign. A valuable addition to the literature surrounding T. E. Lawrence and the Arab Revolt, bringing to light the actual extent of Lawrence's involvement, and how many texts fail to do justice to the Arabs themselves. 'Mr Mousa's obvious concern to be fair-minded and the weight of the evidence he produces make his book one that must be studied by all who are interested in 'Lawrence of Arabia' (front flap). Clean copy. Record # 383229
