| | Thomas Edward Lawrence - definition of Thomas Edward Lawrence in Encyclopedia |
 | | Lawrence's intimate knowledge of the Arab people made him the ideal liaison between British and Arab forces and in October 1916 he was sent into the desert to report on the Arab nationalist movements. | | | Lawrence's major contribution to World War I was convincing Arab leaders to coordinate their revolt to aid British interests. | | | During the closing years of the war he sought to convince his superiors in the British government that Arab independence was in their interests, to mixed success. |

| | The Enigma of Thomas Edward Lawrence |
| | Lawrence at the head of the Arab armies had captured Damascus and installed a provisional Arab government with himself as head, deputizing for King Feisal. | | | Although the full implications may not have dawned on Lawrence, the mere fact that the French were to get Syria was bad enough; hence his bitterness; but also his self-mortifying determination to entrench the Arabs in Damascus ahead of Allenby and the British Imperial forces at all costs to try to sabotage the conspiracy. | | | The historic role Lawrence was to play as leader of the Arab revolt did not emerge until January 1916 when he became attached to the Arab Bureau in Cairo. |

| | He was called Lawrence of Arabia after cooperating with Arab forces during the World War 1, where he was strongly involved in the actions that drove the Ottomans out of the Arabian peninsula and the Levant. | | | 1919 January: Lawrence leads talks between Faysal and the Zionist leader, Chaim Weizmann, where the two agree on exchanging the allowance of Jewish immigration to Palestine with the establishment of a large Arab state. | | | March: Lawrence participates at the Paris Peace Conference, where he promotes Arab interests, which was the establishment of a large united Arab kingdom. |

| | The importance of T. E. Lawrence by David Fromkin |
| | Lawrence’s obsession with guilt as a personal theme runs parallel to the political one throughout Seven Pillars, which begins in a Nietzschean spirit with the author’s observation that in the extreme circumstances of the desert war he and his companions were driven to actions that in normal circumstances would be immoral. | | | Lawrence was proud of the settlement, and admired Churchill for making it possible; he remarked repeatedly that the Arabs now had been given what they had been promised—and more. | | | This madcap scheme had to be kept secret, for in India, Britain ruled the largest Moslem population in the world, and were it to be known that the English were meddling in their religion, Mohammedans there and everywhere might rise in rage against Britain. |

| | Lawrence of Arabia |
| | There have been many interpretations of his search for anonymity: his feeling that he had betrayed Arab hopes for independence or, conversely, the conviction that he had done everything possible for his Arab friends and could do no more; an almost pathological aversion to publicity; or emotional disturbances produced by his war experiences. | | | It is interesting that Jeremy Wilson, in his introduction to The Mint - I suspect as a partial rationale for why Lawrence enlisted in the RAF - noted that Lawrence had been quick to see the potential of air power as an economic way of policing Iraq | | | In 1916, he joined the Arab forces under Faisal al Husayn and became a leader in their revolt against Turkish domination. |

| | The Arabs were in revolt against their Turkish rulers; in support of the Arab opposition, Lawrence organized Arab tribes using guerilla resistance to halt the Turkish advance, finally defeating the Turks and bringing the area south of Aqaba, except for Medina, under Arab-British control. | | | Thus his reputation began to be established as an expert in Arab affairs. | | | Material under the heading for B.H. Liddell Hart, author of T.E. Lawrence in Arabia and After (1934), contains the extensive correspondence during the years 1951-60 concerning the controversy surrounding the publication of Richard Aldington's book, Lawrence of Arabia: A Biographical Inquiry. |

| | However this, and a stint as Arab adviser at the Colonial office, was to prove a disconcerting experience to Lawrence as he was unable to fulfill the promises and pledges that he had made to the Arabs in return for their help during the war. | | | Although, the degree to which he must have suspected Allied treachery and double dealing with the Arabs all along is not persuasively known one way or the other. | | | In what many people see as demonstrating his disillusionment with Public Office, Lawrence then joined the RAF as a lowly aircraftman under the assumed name John Hume Ross in 1922. |
