Second American edition. Originally published separately in 1938 as T.E. Lawrence to his Biographer, Robert Graves and T.E. Lawrence to his Biographer, Liddell Hart, these two volumes of correspondence between Lawrence and his friends are combined here to offer a plethora of unique insights into the great man.
To all who knew him, Lawrence presented a different facet of his personality: to military commentator Liddell Hart, he was the last of the great captains; to poet and novelist Robert Graves, he was one of the greatest writers in the English language. To the reader of this volume, Lawrence will emerge as a man with a staggering array of talents and a self-effacing superhuman spirit.
