The golden reign

Description:

Of all the books written about T . E. Lawrence this is surely the most revealing and beautiful. "The Golden Reign" was Lawrence's own name for the happy time he spent at Mount Batten, under the command of the author's husband. It is not only an exquisite account of a rare type of friendship, it is also the story of the inner life of Lawrence, no longer the most mysterious and remarkable public figure of the day, but the "plain man" in an environment which gave him ease and understanding, and the opportunity to be himself. Here, indeed, is the great Lawrence whom his fellow men respected and liked, whom his friends loved -- Back cover.
