- The British adventurer and soldier T.E Lawrence is best known for his work with the Arabs during the First World War which helped defeat Germany's ally, Turkey. This1962 British television explores the complex character of Lawrence from childhood to his time in Syria sketching castles and learning arabic as a university student, to work in Iraq as an archaeologist, archival vision of Lawrence's time in the middle east and his own photographs from the First World War. As it was made 27 years after his death, there are many interviews with people who knew him, and excerpts from his diaries. Unlike the 1962 Peter O'Toole movie, Lawrence of Arabia, this documentary covers his post-war life, including his work with the Colonial Office which carved up the middle east and his post war quest to hide from his unwanted fame. Was Lawrence a Saint, charlatan, or just caught up in events that shaped the 21st century?
