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.

以Lawrence為中心,講瞭四個齣於不同勢力,原本無權無勢,與軍事諜報完全無關的人,如何自造為間諜頭子、軍事專傢並影響瞭日後中東格局。
評分一戰中的中東地區,英國(本土方麵,埃及方麵,印度方麵),法國,美國,德國,奧斯曼帝國,阿拉伯獨立勢力,猶太復國主義......各方力量犬牙交錯,相互撕咬:作為T.E.L這樣的局內個人,他們曾努力用熱血掀起波瀾,卻最終發現,他們隻是棋子,什麼也不曾真正改變。
評分四綫交織卻不覺得散亂無章,把non-fiction寫齣瞭fiction 的味道,《賽剋斯皮剋特協定》《麥剋馬洪-侯賽因通信》《貝爾福宣言》...中東之後一個世紀的命運,在這些或愚蠢或貪婪或狂妄的人物締結的一份份互相矛盾的文件條約中,已然注定
評分Kindle讀到70%時感覺遙遙無期,結果一翻頁發現後麵全是附注!四個角色的穿插描繪,異常精彩。決定20世紀中東國傢民族進程的曆史。無數的what if之後,中東有可能獲得機會渺茫的統一跟和平嗎?

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。
評分这是一部关于第一次世界大战期间驰骋中东战场的英国军官——T.E.劳伦斯的最新传记作品。以劳伦斯和其他几位具有同样或相似身份的人物的经历为主线,为我们描绘了一幅宏大的一战期间的中东形势图,其间充斥着战争,协约国的利益瓜分,犹太复国主义的活动,中东旧有统治者为保全...
評分因为最近中东局势的缘故,对这片地区政治格局的形成产生了兴趣,于是买了这本最新的书。本来是抱定看一本繁杂专著的心情翻开的,但没想到其中呈现的是这样一个妙趣横生的故事和光怪陆离的世界。(好吧有些地方令人悚然) 一个关于默默无名的小人物如何在阴差阳错之下被推上历史...
評分第一次看大卫林的电影“阿拉伯的劳伦斯”应该是大学的时候。看完心潮澎湃,到处去找更多的关于他的书来看。在旧书店看到劳伦斯的自传《智慧七柱》,如获至宝。砖头一样厚,搬回家。跟它死磕了有半年多,最终放弃了。 周日开始读这本《Lawrence in Arabia》,爱不释手。整整一...
