T. E. Lawrence

T. E. Lawrence is represented in the linked non-fiction through empire, conquest and resistance, military command and battlefield decision-making, and family, marriage and personal loyalty. These works approach the figure through the surrounding events, relationships and political conflicts rather than through a standalone biography.

In non-fiction, T. E. Lawrence is discussed in Ian Rutledge’s Enemy on the Euphrates. In Ian Rutledge’s Enemy on the Euphrates, the narrative brings figures including Arnold Wilson, Gertrude Bell, T. E. Lawrence, Mark Sykes and Winston Churchill into the same political story, showing how direct occupation gave way to a British-backed Iraqi monarchy.
