    Default Lawrence and The Evolution of a Revolt

    As a historical metaphor. Rob, I have used Lawrence twice in the past 5 years to illustrate what was happening with the insurgency in Iraq via my history lessons.

    The problem with Bateman's sourcing is that he would have been on much safer ground had he done the same. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is a turgid, wandering, and very much self-promotying memoir that has been effectively challenged with regards to accuracy.

    You can read a better essay by Lawrence here at The Evolution of Revolt

    My last use of this essay is introduced in the attachment.
