 Empire of Sand - Robert Ryan
Newest Review: ... sounds like it could be a fairly standard war story, but what links it with fact is the character of T. E. Lawrence, who ... more  ... subsequently became better known as Lawrence of Arabia and whose actions are still reverberating around the Middle East today. The events that make up the story here, however, pre-date that period by a year or two and aren't quite as exciting as his life was later to become.
