This 1924 first edition of “With Lawrence in Arabia” by Lowell Thomas is a true piece of history. Thomas, an American journalist and broadcaster, was one of the first to bring the exploits of T.E. Lawrence (better known as Lawrence of Arabia) to the Western world. His lectures and this book played a pivotal role in establishing Lawrence’s legendary status and fueling the public’s fascination with the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. While the red cover deviates from the more common blue binding, this copy’s well-preserved pages and sturdy binding allow readers to immerse themselves in Thomas’s firsthand account of his travels with Lawrence across the Arabian desert. A must-have for collectors interested in the Middle Eastern campaigns of WWI, as well as those captivated by the enigmatic figure of Lawrence himself.
