"It suddenly occurred to me that I had spent more years researching Lawrence than he had lived… and that it was time to go public."
This talk by linguist Stephen Spencer is an attempt to justify a lifetime of study of the enigmatic soldier-scholar, sometimes referred to as the uncrowned King of Arabia. It is a chronological journey from the circumstances of Lawrence’s birth, his academic, military and political achievements, up to his final career in the Royal Air Force and his untimely death.
