This is an exceptional, highly collectible copy of the 1927 first UK edition of Revolt in the Desert by the legendary T.E. Lawrence. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, this work is Lawrence’s own brilliant, fast-paced abridgment of his monumental masterpiece Seven Pillars of Wisdom. It was the only account of his legendary exploits published for the general public during his lifetime.
The text provides a stunning, firsthand narrative of the Arab Revolt (1916–1918) against the Ottoman Empire during World War I, detailing grueling camel marches, guerrilla railway sabotage, and strategic desert warfare. Complete with full-page portrait plates and a folding map, this volume is a true cornerstone for collectors of military history, travelogues, and 20th-century biographical landmarks.
