National Book Critics Circle Finalist -- American Library Association Notable Book
A thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in 20th century history – the Arab Revolt and the secret “great game” to control the Middle East
The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War One was, in the words of T.E. Lawrence, “a sideshow of a sideshow.” Amidst the slaughter in European trenches, the Western combatants paid scant attention to the Middle Eastern theater. As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power.
Curt Prüfer was an effete academic attached to the German embassy in Cairo, whose clandestine role was to foment Islamic jihad against British rule. Aaron Aaronsohn was a renowned agronomist and committed Zionist who gained the trust of the Ottoman governor of Syria. William Yale was the fallen scion of the American aristocracy, who traveled the Ottoman Empire on behalf of Standard Oil, dissembling to the Turks in order gain valuable oil concessions. At the center of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in the sands of Syria; by 1917 he was the most romantic figure of World War One, battling both the enemy and his own government to bring about the vision he had for the Arab people.
The intertwined paths of these four men – the schemes they put in place, the battles they fought, the betrayals they endured and committed – mirror the grandeur, intrigue and tragedy of the war in the desert. Prüfer became Germany’s grand spymaster in the Middle East. Aaronsohn constructed an elaborate Jewish spy-ring in Palestine, only to have the anti-Semitic and bureaucratically-inept British first ignore and then misuse his organization, at tragic personal cost. Yale would become the only American intelligence agent in the entire Middle East – while still secretly on the payroll of Standard Oil. And the enigmatic Lawrence rode into legend at the head of an Arab army, even as he waged secret war against his own nation’s imperial ambitions.
Based on years of intensive primary document research, LAWRENCE IN ARABIA definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.

评分Kindle读到70%时感觉遥遥无期,结果一翻页发现后面全是附注!四个角色的穿插描绘,异常精彩。决定20世纪中东国家民族进程的历史。无数的what if之后,中东有可能获得机会渺茫的统一跟和平吗?
评分虽然书名叫劳伦斯在阿伯拉,但其实不只是讲劳伦斯,还有另外三个冒险家在一战的中东的故事,纪实文学写的像小说一样,惊心动魄、引人入胜
评分作者文笔不错 大故事里带着四个小故事 主要讲的是劳伦斯作为英国的棋子怎么协助瓦解奥斯曼土耳其帝国 帝国是包容的 多种文化可以和谐共存 肢解以后就形成了现在中东格局 书里也写到了以色列建国 恐怖主义根源 其实从来就没有阿拉伯的劳伦斯 只有劳伦斯在阿拉伯
评分An engaging and enjoyable book. It gives history a human touch and its players a sense of destiny. It presents the course of history as being dominated by short-sighted national interests yet idealism persists. How l love the theme of tragic heroes! The blue-eyed "warrior of the desert" won the battle only to see his dream lost.

评分关于“阿拉伯的劳伦斯”的故事有很多,还有一部电影,不过依旧对他了解不多,所以计划买来看看。另外对作者斯科特·安德森这位战地记者深表敬意,也许是因为奔波于同样的环境才能感同身受地写出这样的书吧。而神秘莫测的劳伦斯多多少少也是大家关注的焦点吧。
