Lawrence of Arabia has become a household name in history. How it came to that is brilliantly set out in `Setting the Desert on Fire` by James Barr:The British needed a counterweight to the caliphate in Istanbul and sided with Sharif Husein, emir of Mecca, who - with British financial and military support - instigated the revolt which ultimately led to the wresting Damascus from the hands of the Turks. T. E. Lawrence, a British Intelligence officer, early realized that guerilla warfare was the only way to deal small but ultimately mortal blows to the otherwise too powerful Turkish forces in Syria and the Hijaz. Thus he started winning various Arab tribes for his cause and attacked the Turkish supply lines on the Hijaz Railways. Supported by General Edmund Allenby's attack on the coast in 1918 T. E. Lawrence finally managed to push up to Damascus with Feisal, one of Sharif Husein's sons.The rewards, territorial gains and independence promised were of a limited nature though since the Sykes-Picot-Agreement already decided on the future spheres of influence between the British and the France (Feisal became king in British controlled Iraq, Abdullah, his brother, king in Transjordan) early during the war.Gripping, hard to put the book away!
Scholarly but very readable account of the Arab Uprising. I liked Barr's extensive use of sources other than T.E. Lawrence. His description of how and why Britain decided to support a backwater Middle Eastern revolt in the first place is very well written. Britain was pouring money into Arabia; without T.E. Lawrence's organizational skills that money would have been wasted, the funds would have been cut off, and the Revolt would have failed. The Arabs may feel they got a raw deal, but it was probably the best deal possible at the time.Those expecting a novel (the cover art may fool you) or an easy read will be disappointed. The title is from Lawrence's description of Emir Feisal in Seven Pillars of Wisdom, and Lawrence took the photograph used for the cover. (He used photography as an archeologist and map maker before the war.) The book is well sourced; it has a bibliography, an index, footnotes, maps, and a list of people. The list was very helpful, because this is a story with dozens of characters. Barr inserts little descriptions of places he visited during his research. I found these interesting. Some places haven't changed much in a hundred years; other places (like Aqaba) are completely transformed.Setting the Desert On Fire isn't about Lawrence of Arabia, it is about Britain's role in the Arab Revolt. Lawrence was an important part of the story, so he's used as the fulcrum. The romantic image of Lawrence of Arabia was used to sell the book. This is unfortunate, but I'm glad I wasn't put off by the publisher's marketing.
Well worth the read for several reasons: Gives the reader a better perspective of the extremely complex situation. Includes information from the German side I have not seen before. Provides information on the present state of many historic sites. I would like to see more from the Turk and German side in any future attempts to deal with this. I assume that angle has been written but never published widely in English.Chapter 19 on the Dera episode is perhaps somewhat unkind. Of course one cannot not be perfectly clear on the single missing page in Lawrence's diary. I would have like to have seen photos of the adjacent pages, a mention of the possibility that Mrs. Shaw may have removed it, a mention of evidence going against the author's theory (in that there is a statement of a military doctor who treated Lawrence soon after the Dera incident and there are statements by other colleagues saying that they did not question that the event did in fact occur and why).One never is able to chose the order of their books, but this book is best savored after reading Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922 Oxford Edition), Safety Last, and Orientations. Better to read the word of TEL's fellow officers before taking on the modern perspective.The author obviously loves his subject and has done his work extremely well.
For anyone who doubts the adage "that those who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them" then this is the book for them. Barr not only looks at Lawrence's role in the desert revolt of 1917 to 1918 but also the convoluted dealings of Britain and France in the Sykes-Picot accord and its consequences for the Middle East today.The book is well researched with copious notes and references and extensive bibliography. There are also photographs of many of the people and places mentioned in the text. The book examines the reason for Britain's involvement in the region, the tensions between the India Office and its support for the ibn Saud family and the Egypt Office and its support for the ibn Husain family and the tensions between the Arab tribes themselves and the lack of a clear aim for the revolt. It also examines in some detail how the British government wanted to distance itself from the Sykes-Picot accord as the war progressed and the French insistence that it be honoured.The only criticism I have is that the author has a tendency to interpose his own observations of the sites of events in the middle of the text about those events without the benefit of separate paragraph. Apart from this the book is an excellent read and well worth its purchase for anyone interested in the region, the desert revolt or T. E. Lawrence.
This book has good potential, telling the tale of the Arab revolt against the Turks in WWI, but spends too much time describing, in much more than needed detail, the many day to day meetings between this tribal chief and that British officer, who traveled when to where, and which dispatch said this and that to some other diplomat back in France or England or wherever. As a strict history it does cover the subject, but it's a somewhat boring read unless you are really interested in the politics. Recommended with caution.
If you enjoyed the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" or read TE Lawrence' 7 Pillars of Wisdom, then you will really like this book. It gives you the truth of the actual events, combat, and political machinations that created the Middle East of today - and the continuing problems between tribes (now governments) and their origins.Well worth the read.
