I am now reading Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia by Michael Korda. Interesting book but slow going at least at the beginning. Starts out with Lawrence’s activities during World War I (as in the movie Lawrence of Arabia). It has been a long time since I saw the movie but these seems less dramatic but more accurate and better explained. The author gets you interested in the character (if you weren’t already interested enough) with this and fills in the rest of his life. At least I think that is the plan after 150 pages or so. More when I finish.
