Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia

Written by Michael Korda

Narrated by Robin Sachs

A new biography of the legendary adventurer, who became a living myth.--An in-depth account of the dynamic Englishman whose daring exploits and romantic profile made him an object of fascination. Korda analyzes Lawrence's vision for the modern Middle East, plans that may have prevented the hatred and bloodshed in the region. Lawrence remains the paradigm of the hero in modern times whose life is at once a triumph and a sacrifice, and whose capacity to astonish remains undimmed.
