John Mack's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of T.E. Lawrence — a psychological biography that is simultaneously a major work of historical scholarship.
The standard full-scale biography of Lawrence: covers his childhood, Oxford years, archaeological work, wartime role in the Arab Revolt, and post-war life of deliberate self-effacement. A psychological reading of Lawrence's extraordinary contradictions: the romantic self-mythologist who was also a careful military strategist, the hero who could not bear fame. Won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography (1977).
