    About this ebook

    "This is a stunning biography. It is compelling, lyrical and contains detailed research, travel writing, in-depth analysis of a personality and a fascinating story. The author's research has become a book that will sit alongside other great biographies, and will be referred to and praised for many years to come." -Justine McGrath

    This groundbreaking work chronicles the Dick Benson Gyles's quest to uncover previously unexplained areas of the life of T.E. Lawrence, the enigmatic desert fighter, aircraftman and writer. The result of years of painstaking research, it contains new material that throws a completely fresh light on Lawrence's concealed private life. Following an extraordinary journey to find the unknown man behind the many myths, the book's two halves are underpinned by the author's personal mission to reveal the man behind the mask; the secret Lawrence.
