About this listen

Although T. E. Lawrence, commonly known as "Lawrence of Arabia", died in 1935, the story of his life has captured the imagination of succeeding generations. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a monumental work in which he chronicles his role in leading the Arab Revolt against the Turks during the First World War. A reluctant leader, and wracked by guilt at the duplicity of the British, Lawrence nevertheless threw himself into his role, suffering the blistering desert conditions and masterminding military campaigns which culminated in the triumphant march of the Arabs into Damascus.

I had tried to read this a couple of times and given up. Lawrence's prose seemed of another era, a challenge to battle through. Whilst listening I went back to my hardback to check something, and was reminded of my difficulty reading it. Somehow the narrator picks it off the page and makes it compelling in a way I could never do when trying to read it. It was fluent, gripping and Lawrence was brought to life in a way I could not have imagined after those abortive attempts on the text myself. This really makes a compelling case for the audio format.

A reading that opens the door...excellent

One of those rare books that can have a real effect on one's life. "Wordy" but stick with it, it's well worth it...

Excellent

A highly engaging chronicle with too many facets to mention. This is no rom com, but well worth sticking with.

Brilliantly read by Roy McMillan.

An eye watering reflection of the time.

An excellent reading of a very personal account of the military and political battles in Arabia. The overall strategy and the day to day realities are combined to produce an enthralling and engaging account.

Enthralling!
