NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY

National Book Critics Circle Finalist -- American Library Association Notable Book

A thrilling and revelatory narrative of one of the most epic and consequential periods in 20th century history – the Arab Revolt and the secret “great game” to control the Middle East

The Arab Revolt against the Turks in World War One was, in the words of T.E. Lawrence, “a sideshow of a sideshow.” Amidst the slaughter in European trenches, the Western combatants paid scant attention to the Middle Eastern theater. As a result, the conflict was shaped to a remarkable degree by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers far removed from the corridors of power.

Curt Prüfer was an effete academic attached to the German embassy in Cairo, whose clandestine role was to foment Islamic jihad against British rule. Aaron Aaronsohn was a renowned agronomist and committed Zionist who gained the trust of the Ottoman governor of Syria. William Yale was the fallen scion of the American aristocracy, who traveled the Ottoman Empire on behalf of Standard Oil, dissembling to the Turks in order gain valuable oil concessions. At the center of it all was Lawrence. In early 1914 he was an archaeologist excavating ruins in the sands of Syria; by 1917 he was the most romantic figure of World War One, battling both the enemy and his own government to bring about the vision he had for the Arab people.

The intertwined paths of these four men – the schemes they put in place, the battles they fought, the betrayals they endured and committed – mirror the grandeur, intrigue and tragedy of the war in the desert. Prüfer became Germany’s grand spymaster in the Middle East. Aaronsohn constructed an elaborate Jewish spy-ring in Palestine, only to have the anti-Semitic and bureaucratically-inept British first ignore and then misuse his organization, at tragic personal cost. Yale would become the only American intelligence agent in the entire Middle East – while still secretly on the payroll of Standard Oil. And the enigmatic Lawrence rode into legend at the head of an Arab army, even as he waged secret war against his own nation’s imperial ambitions.

Based on years of intensive primary document research, LAWRENCE IN ARABIA definitively overturns received wisdom on how the modern Middle East was formed. Sweeping in its action, keen in its portraiture, acid in its condemnation of the destruction wrought by European colonial plots, this is a book that brilliantly captures the way in which the folly of the past creates the anguish of the present.

这是《潇湘晨报》对我的采访,谈《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》一书。 潇湘晨报:从《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》来看,现代中东是如何形成的?其中的关键点在哪里? 陆大鹏:19世纪到第一次世界大战前,中东一带(今天阿拉伯半岛,波斯湾等地区)都是奥斯曼帝国统治。帝国里有阿拉伯人、土耳其...

关于“阿拉伯的劳伦斯”的故事有很多,还有一部电影,不过依旧对他了解不多,所以计划买来看看。另外对作者斯科特·安德森这位战地记者深表敬意,也许是因为奔波于同样的环境才能感同身受地写出这样的书吧。而神秘莫测的劳伦斯多多少少也是大家关注的焦点吧。

因为最近中东局势的缘故,对这片地区政治格局的形成产生了兴趣,于是买了这本最新的书。本来是抱定看一本繁杂专著的心情翻开的,但没想到其中呈现的是这样一个妙趣横生的故事和光怪陆离的世界。(好吧有些地方令人悚然) 一个关于默默无名的小人物如何在阴差阳错之下被推上历史...

作者文笔不错 大故事里带着四个小故事 主要讲的是劳伦斯作为英国的棋子怎么协助瓦解奥斯曼土耳其帝国 帝国是包容的 多种文化可以和谐共存 肢解以后就形成了现在中东格局 书里也写到了以色列建国 恐怖主义根源 其实从来就没有阿拉伯的劳伦斯 只有劳伦斯在阿拉伯

评分

四线交织却不觉得散乱无章,把non-fiction写出了fiction 的味道,《赛克斯皮克特协定》《麦克马洪-侯赛因通信》《贝尔福宣言》...中东之后一个世纪的命运,在这些或愚蠢或贪婪或狂妄的人物缔结的一份份互相矛盾的文件条约中,已然注定

这是一本需要边看边画画图的书,不然记不住……

一战中的中东地区,英国(本土方面,埃及方面,印度方面),法国,美国,德国,奥斯曼帝国,阿拉伯独立势力,犹太复国主义......各方力量犬牙交错,相互撕咬:作为T.E.L这样的局内个人,他们曾努力用热血掀起波澜,却最终发现,他们只是棋子,什么也不曾真正改变。
