5-Doughty and Lawrence
Talk by Sir Ronald Storrs
Sir Ronald Storrs asks a straightforward question: What attraction was it that drew to Arabia the authors of two classics in English literature. ' Arabia Deserta ' and ' Seven Pillars of Wisdom '?

Lawrence during the period covered by ' Seven Pillars of Wisdom '
