The Essential T.E. Lawrence is an account of Lawrence of Arabia - the archaeologist, intelligence officer, soldier, polemicist, and diplomat. It is both an anthology (with a wide selection of Lawrence's writings from his letters and books) and an autobiography.
Born in 1888 in Carnarvonshire in Wales, Thomas Edward was the second of five brothers. Intending in 1910 to be a photographer and establish his own printing press, he took his camera to the archaeological dig in Carchemish on the west banks of the Euphrates for a holiday and stayed for three years. Carchemish is on the frontier between Turkey and Syria, about 100 kilometres northeast of Aleppo in Syria. That was his first contact with Arab society, where he made lifelong friends.
He left Damascus in 1918 and reported to the War Office in London where he spent three years trying to gain freedom for Arabs - the failure during the Peace Conference affected him long afterwards. In 1921 Winston Churchill offered him a post, which he accepted, but soon after enlisted in the Royal Air Force. In 1922, he lived in Clouds Hill, a cottage near Bovington near the British army base in Dorset, England - later he got involved in accident happened and it took his life.
