Referred to by a colleague as 'an odd gnome, half cad with a touch of genius', Lawrence has long been recognized as an exceptional figure and has never ceased to arouse intense interest, and controversy, since his death in 1935. Drawing on a wealth of new material, A Touch of Genius presents an authentic portrait of the real Lawrence, from his schooldays, through his Middle Eastern years and his years in the ranks to the lonely, final weeks at Clouds Hill, his Dorset cottage on the road to which he had his fatal accident. Quotations from Lawrence's correspondence, including letters to Mrs George Bernard Shaw and E. M. Forster, and important first-hand accounts from people close to him, enrich the text and strengthen the argument for a realistic reappraisal of this very remarkable man. 'beautifully and originally illustrated... written with great felicity of style' John Keegan, Sunday Tel
