Lawrence Of Arabia,Seven Pillars Of Wisdom

Book Review by: Molitor    

Original Author: T.E. Lawrence
Write your abstract here. " Well the Politicians certainly need to read this book today,!" with all the confusion and misunderstandings
in the Middle East. I,ll go further, from the Balkans to the Hindu Kush, and from the Kashmir to the Afghanistan Steppes . This book is the ultimate gem in understanding other peoples of another Race, Culture, Oral Traditions, Mindsets, Tribes, Ties, Traditions,Customs,and Ancient Rituals, its told from a Classical piece of English Literature from a British Spy. Winston Churchill wrote of the Book, it will remain as one of the finest expose,s of a people unsurpassed, in the English Language.                         The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, is taken from the Holy Book of the Al Koran. Although Lawrence was,nt a Muslm he certainly new their mannerisms,it is a must read for any Religious Scholars, Anthropologist, Military Historian or even dare I say it a Politician.                           Lawrence travels through the Middle East as the ''Shem el Neseem,'' or the scent of the Oasis, in English, appearing and disappearing as the Phantom of an Opera, which the Authorities haven,t quite got hold of,Waltzing a dance Macabre with 2.5 Million Turkish Troops, with 500, Whirling Dervishes,Turregs, Bedouin, Arabs, and takes an Objective the allies sent 1.5 million men to achieve.             Read this Book, furthermore Treasure it, and tell your Politicians to Read it again!. Or as the Soldiers would say, five minutes outside Basra, you,d think you were Lawrence of Arabia, ten minutes out ,and you better had BE !
