It explores his intellectual evolution from an Oxford archaeologist to a brilliant guerrilla commander during the Arab Revolt, and demystifies his postwar retreat, explaining his withdrawal from public life as the result of immense wartime strain and deep disillusionment with the political betrayal of the Arab nations.
