Liar and charlatan, or military genius? Agent of British imperialism, or advocate of Arab nationalism? The debate about T E Lawrence has raged for a century. Following ten years’ fieldwork in the Arabian desert, Bristol University’s Neil Faulkner reassesses the man, evaluates his achievements, and offers new insight into the ongoing Middle Eastern crisis. Neil will be selling copies of his new book, Lawrence of Arabia’s War, at the lecture.

For now, just to let all loved ones and friends know, we are all here, safe and well, have enjoyed a fantastic season, and thank you all so much for following our exploits. More soon, hopefully...
