内容简介

Lawrence of Arabia is a modern myth. The subject of more than 100 books, several of them full-length biographies, Lawrence is best remembered from David Lean’s 1962 epic film, which did much to boost his heroic reputation, although at the expense of strict historical accuracy. T.E. Lawrence was, and remains, a controversial, contradictory character, both warlike and scholarly, vain and modest, part showman, part hermit; he was ambitious yet racked with self-doubt and guilt. Michael Korda’s magnificent new biography examines in a new way the man Jan Morris has called a “confused and enigmatic exhibitionist”. Mr Korda blows away the preconceptions that cloud much of the existing literature on Lawrence. He tells the story of Lawrence’s early life, of his illegitimacy and his difficult relationship with his mother, without the flights of psychoanalytical speculation that have plagued some previous studies of the man. The heart of the book is devoted to Lawrence’s role in the Arab revolt of 1916-18, the origin of his romantically heroic reputation. Mr Korda deals even-handedly with Lawrence’s role, demonstrating that, although he was not solely responsible for the revolt, his remarkable leadership, courage and physical endurance gave the campaign vital cohesion and impetus. Lawrence, an academic without formal military training, displayed an astonishing grasp of both regular and irregular military tactics. His campaign with the camel-mounted Bedouin tribesmen against the Turks was a masterful exposition of the principles of guerrilla warfare. The tribesmen attacked the enemy with small, highly mobile units, forcing it to defend itself along a huge front. Likewise, Lawrence became a master of the set-piece engagement—although on a small scale—as his victory over the Turkish army at Tafileh in January 1918 so amply demonstrated. Once the war was over, Lawrence continued the struggle for an independent Arab state at the Versailles conference. His aspirations foundered on the rocks of British and French colonial ambition, notably the twin reefs of the notorious Sykes-Picot agreement of 1916 and the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Mr Korda argues that Lawrence was “partly responsible” for the formation of modern Iraq and Jordan and played a substantial role in “the creation of Palestine as a separate entity”. This eased his conscience for having encouraged the Arab revolt, but it is also his legacy to the present. 专八阅读180篇新题型，适用对象： 基础一般、需要大量新题型英语专八阅读练习的英语专业八级（TEM-8）考生；想边练专八阅读边记单词的考生；需要提高专八阅读速度的考生；准备考研的英语专业学生。 推荐理由： 1.专八阅读理解改革新题型180篇大题量训练； 2.针对英语专八改革，配备视频讲解，总结归纳新题型专八阅读答题技巧； 3.融合样卷和改革后专八真题的阅读新变化，套题含长篇阅读新组合，由数篇文章组成：4篇或3篇，题型包括选择题和简答题； 4.选材跟专八真题来源相同，有针对性备考； 5.总结专八阅读高频词汇，“阅读+词汇”双突破； 6.专八阅读题材分类训练+套题训练，熟悉各类阅读题材，系统备考。
