In the summer of 1935 ... the abbreviated 'Subscribers' Edition' was published for a general audience with promises that the Oxford Text would appear shortly. Unfortunately, the astonishing success of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, one of the cult bestsellers of the 1930s, became an insuperable obstacle to the longer, and superior, version.

SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM - A TRIUMPH is the autobiographical account of the experiences of British soldier T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia") while serving with rebel forces during the Arabian Revolt against the Ottoman Turks. The extraordinary breadth and variety of his activities and associations, and his ability to describe them vividly in writing, earned him international fame as Lawrence of Arabia, a title popularised by the 1962 film based on his life. THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM has been called "a novel traveling under the cover of autobiography," capturing Lawrence's highly personal and exciting version of the historical events described in the book.

I would be remiss if I didn't draw attention to the full page portraits and illustrations that are beyond fantastic executed in plaster, oils, charcoal, pencil, and photograph . Lawrence makes special mention of the artist, Kennington, who worked for five years on the majority of the illustrations.
As an aside, Revolt in the Desert is an abridgement of Seven Pillars. ( )
