Revolt in the Desert is the extraordinary story of the war in Arabia between 1916 and 1918, written by one of the war's most extraordinary characters, Lawrence of Arabia. It tells of his adventures and life amongst the Arab tribesmen, the daring raids on the Turks, the demolition of railway lines, the attacking of desert outposts, and of the opening of 'the road to Damascus' and eventual overthrow of the Turks in the inhospitable landscape of the Middle East. Few had made headway with the Bedouin and Arabs before Lawrence, but his strength of character and his personality suited this war perfectly and he was soon considered to be hugely important in the fight in the Middle East both by his superiors and by the Arabs who rallied around him. This is his story, from his viewpoint. T.E. Lawrence truly was a great writer on the Great War.… (meer)

"Revolt in the Desert" is a memoir written by T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia. Published in 1927, the book recounts Lawrence's experiences during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East during World War I.

Lawrence's narrative takes readers on a remarkable journey through the deserts of Arabia, where he played a pivotal role in uniting various Arab tribes against the common enemy. He vividly describes the challenges faced by the Arab forces, including battles, guerilla warfare, and strategic maneuvers. Lawrence provides a detailed account of the Arab Revolt, shedding light on the political and military strategies employed, as well as the complexities of Arab tribal dynamics.

The book offers valuable insights into Lawrence's role as a military advisor to Arab leaders, his interactions with key figures such as Emir Faisal, and his efforts to gain support for the Arab cause from the British government. It delves into the cultural and social aspects of Arab society, as well as the harsh and unforgiving desert landscapes that served as the backdrop for the revolt.

"Revolt in the Desert" is not merely a historical account but also a personal reflection on Lawrence's own experiences and emotions throughout the campaign. It explores his deep admiration for Arab culture and his belief in their potential for self-governance. The book also examines the impact of colonialism, international politics, and the shifting alliances of World War I on the Arab Revolt and the broader Middle East.

Lawrence's writing style is captivating, combining vivid descriptions, insightful observations, and a touch of literary flair. His ability to convey the spirit and essence of the Arabian desert and its people makes "Revolt in the Desert" a compelling read for those interested in military history, Middle Eastern affairs, and Lawrence's remarkable role in shaping the region's destiny.

La rivolta degli arabi contro il potere ottomano tra il 1916 e il 1918 è uno degli episodi più emozionanti della Prima guerra mondiale. Thomas Lawrence riuscì a unificare varie etnie e tribù sparse in un territorio immenso, facendone un solo esercito agli ordini di Feisal I, il profeta guerriero, e facilitando la vittoria inglese sui turchi. La narrazione fonde fatti di cronaca ed elementi d'ispirazione poetico-letteraria rendendo questo libro un viaggio nel passato storico e culturale di luoghi che sono oggi al centro della politica internazionale.

Knizka je napisana velmi kvetnatym jazykom, miestami sa tazko cita. Zaradil by som ju medzi cestopisno-zivotopisne dielo s osobnymi zazitkami autora. Jedinecna. Kto chce spoznat arabsky svet, tak hla prirucka pre ten osoh ako stvorena :) ( )

This text is an unnecessary abridgment of one of the most compelling and beautifully written non-fiction works of the 20th century, Seven Pillars of Wisdom. While fans and collectors of Lawrence's work may find the book of interest, new readers should disregard this text and direct their attention to Seven Pillars of Wisdom post-haste. ( )

When at last we anchored in Jeddah’s outer harbour, off the white town hung between the blazing sky and its reflection in the mirage which swept and rolled over the wide lagoon, then the heat of Arabia came out like a drawn sword and struck us speechless.
