Lawrence of Arabia, The Authorised Biography was first published in 1989. Since then, research has continued. For example, neither the Winston Churchill nor the Lowell Thomas papers which were available for my research. This text contains some revisions and updates.

In all there are 46 chapters, plus the prologue and five Appendixes.
