E. Lawrence, &ldquo;a sideshow of a sideshow.&rdquo; As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power.<br><br>At the center of it all was Lawrence himself.&#160;In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in Syria; by 1917 he was riding into legend at the head of an Arab army as he fought a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. Based on four years of intensive primary document research, <i>Lawrence in Arabia</i> definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed.</p>",
