Lawrence. Coincidentally?, Ned (Lawrence's childhood nickname) is helping the Arabs win their freedom. ~"The Empty View" is the desert of the Arab nomad, the desert of revolt. The Heroes are the tribal Arabs fighting for their traditional freedom, and against the machine age and its politics. Chief among the heroes, an Arab in all but birth, is Ned Gordon, an extraordinary man who has many prototypes among great British eccentrics, but who is perhaps best described as a contemporary T.E. Lawrence, a Lawrence spared his motorcycle crash. Gordon, this new Lawrence, leads a new tribal revolt, but not to victory. For this is a novel of man versus time and change, and it is marked with tragedy from the very beginning because Gordon seeks for something that still barely exists. That something is freedom. The desperate price demanded of him by the victors is his quick banishment from the desert. His opponents, the corrupt Pasha of the city Arabs, and Martin, the English political general, know that Gordon's mere dedicated presence is inflammatory. Once again in England, Gordon finds himself a legendary figure, a heroic echo, courted by political leaders of all parties. Self-evaluation is the heart within the heart of this style of Englishman, and Gordon makes his tense talks with the great politicians a testing of alternative values -- the values critical for all of us. There is Gordon's family, too: his mother, a rigid Calvinist, overwhelmed by her daughter's conversion to Catholicism; and his gentle brother, whose business is failing. The choices before Gordon are not only political. And finally there is Tess, a strange, restless girl uprooted from a city slum by a scholarship at Cambridge. Tess is never able finally to reconcile her love for Gordon with her own rooted beliefs, so different from his. So, even with her, Gordon fails, and he returns to the desert to fulfill his own heroic view of destiny -- to dust and thirst and blood and battle.~ By the author of "Signed with Their Honour", "The Sea Eagle", "Of Many Men", "The Diplomat", "The Hunter", etc. [O'Brien F0014] ** Altounyan, Taqui #29196 CHIMES FROM A WOODEN BELL.

Anthropologists would say that we are all descended from seven women from the upper reaches of the Nile in Africa; the genealogist has to stop when the church records and the tombstones give out; the biographer picks over the generations, choosing a bright piece, here, a dark scrap there, to make a collage." "Chimes from a Wooden Bell" is the remarkable attempt to piece together one hundred years in the lives of two families: one English, the other Armenian. On the English side the family was closely connected with John Ruskin, T.E. Lawrence and Arthur Ransome, who was so enchanted with the children that he based "Swallows and Amazons" upon them (the author herself was Captain John); on the Armenian side, the author's relations were eminent philanthropists, her grandfather the founder of a famous hospital in Aleppo. Fragments of letters, lively snatches of conversation, and vivid social and historical events make up Taqui Altounyan's beautifully written memoir of two very different, and long since vanished, worlds brought briefly together by her two families. Reconstructing the English and Armenian past against her own memory of the colourful characters who were part of her childhood, the author presents a unique social history of two cultures.~ By the author of "In Allepo Once" (1969) and "Through the Year in the Middle East" (1982).

"These are the loners: those among us who, for one reason or another, and at any cost, must, in the modern idiom, do their own thing. They have always been with us and if there is to be any future for mankind, we must hope they always will be." Richard Armstrong separates the latter-day loner groups: those who have sought their solitude in the desert, or mountains, in the polar regions and at sea. He is concerned here not so much with the retelling their stories as such but in trying to discover what, if anything, they had in common, what moved them, what was really in it for them. To penetrate their alibis. Most of the loners were elusive, private men, but many of them wrote books or kept journals. The author has drawn heavily from their writings, and from them and what others have said, and from the deeds themselves, the reader begins to understand the psychology of the loner, the toughness that they share along with the ability to deprive themselves in order to reach grander heights of being. Richard Armstrong writes with authority and sensitivity about a subject that has its fascination and significance for every time and that has, perhaps, a particular importance for this one.~ A few of the loners are Edmund Hillary, Sir Francis Chichester, Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Captain Ernest Scott, T.E. Lawrence, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Sir Douglas Mawson, St. John Philby, Sir Ernest Shackleton, Bertram Thomas, etc. [O'Brien F0043a] ISBN: 0395137217 ** Ashkar, Riad and Khalidi, Ahmed #20432 WEAPONS AND EQUIPTMENT OF THE ISRAELI ARMED FORCES; Beirut, The Institute For $87.00 Palestine Studies (Monograph Series #27) 1971: FIRST EDITION, softcover, 12mo, 86pp, many b/w photos, tables, appendix, minuscule wears and label to spine, ink stamp to fep, else NEAR FINE. ** Detailed lists of equipments possessed by all branches of the Israeli armed forces -- air, land and sea -- including the new weapons offered to Israel by the U.S.A, in the closing months of 1970.

Lawrence was killed in a motorcycle accident in Dorset, Captain Charles Blackmore embarked upon an expedition with three others of the Royal Green Jackets Regiment to retrace Lawrence's exploits in the Arab Revolt (from Wadi Rumm through El Jafir to Azraq, El Qatrana, Tafila, Petra and back to Wadi Rumm) in the First World War. Using Lawrence's classic account, "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", as their guide, the expedition spent 29 days with meagre supplies and under extreme climatic conditions, riding and walking to the very source of the Lawrence legend. What these young men, all in their twenties, discovered about Lawrence and the legend was matched only by what they discovered about themselves. Blackmore insisted on living, as Lawrence did, as a true Bedouin. But very soon all romantic images disappeared. Extreme heat and then cold, virtually no food and often little water, and inability to communicate with the Arabs and a growing realization of the own lack of preparedness, turned their thoughts and fears to conspiracy.

Lawrence at the Paris Peace Conference: ~"Go and live with the Arabs!" he cried. "Go and live with the Arabs!" His frail figure was trembling. His blue eyes pierced me. His thin lips were set. His emaciated face shone. Then he was gone.~ ~With little more than an urge to escape from a world which had learned no lesson from the last war and was drifting into greater disaster than in 1914, Ronald V.C. Bodley went to the Sahara Desert. He wanted simply to join the nomadic tribes among whom Lawrence had assured him he would find peace of mind. Mr. Bodley, an ex-officer of a crack English regiment, with his background of Eton, going to live with the Arabs, was the object of his friends' amusement and they expected to see him back in a few weeks. He did not return for seven years. Mr. Bodley detached him detached himself completely from all home ties -- which was something Lawrence, Gertrude Bell and Doughty never did, although they new the desert intimately. He made a tent his permanent home, wore Arab clothes and practiced the Moslem Faith. In "Wind in the Sahara" he tells of these years of adventure, of romance and of the peace he found among his Arab friends. He has managed to include a mass of information about the intimate side of the Arabs' lives, their marriages, their love affairs, their traditions and history, and also their future in the new world now being created. It was Bodley's intention in writing his story to write it as a literate desert nomad might write of his life.~ The author also co-wrote a biography of Gertrude Bell with Lorna Hearst in 1940.

Is there in the world a more evocative name? At the mere sound of it, images drift into the mind: deserts stretching to sharp horizons, camels passing in grave procession across blazing dawns, palm trees lifting above clear wells, nomad warriors intent on rendezvous with a heroic death. We seem to see the domes and minarets of Islam's secret cities, safe behind the barriers of an ancient prohibition; or, among the mountains of the Yemen, tall, many-windowed buildings rising in bizarre dignity ... Peter Brent has examined the genesis of this Arabia of our dreams, tracing its development in the successive stories of the explorers who helped create it. For, from Ludovico di Varthema in the 16th century to Wilfred Thesiger in the 20th, dedicated travelers have brought back from the Arabian Peninsula the accounts that, little by little, have woven a legend that now forms a part of our intellectual and artistic traditions. In that process, the travellers have themselves often been transformed into transcendent heroes -- from Burckhardt and Richard Burton to T.E.

He fell in love with the country, its people and customs and stayed there until his death in 1946. During that time he wrote thousands of pages of letters home and this volume presents an edited selection of these. McPherson was a born storyteller. With these letters he takes his place among that select company of writers and diarists who, while itemising their own lives, illumine the history of their times. He started out in Cairo as a teacher, using his holidays to travel all over the Middle East and Asia Minor. The First World War finds him in Gallipoli, clinically observing and brilliantly describing the doomed campaign and then later the Sinai desert at the Battles of Romani and Gaza, encouraging his Egyptian cameleers to charge shouting the war-cry of the McPherson clan.

Joe Carmichael points out how ambiguous the word "Arab" has always been: "Islam, which has only recently been Westernized, does not recognize distinctions of nations or races as important... Islam contains a welter of ethnic types that also permeate the Arab-speaking world, types ethnically distinct only to the mind of a Westerner preoccupied with differences or race and nationality." Mr. Carmichael brings the history of the whole area down to our own day, describing the collapse of the Middle East before the European incursion of the 19th century, its gradual recover, consummated by the independence of more than a dozen states, and the formation of a new sense of Arab identity through the conflict with the Turks and with Jewish Zionism. Present divisions are discussed as well as the prospects for unity. No other book brings out so clearly and so concisely the complex historical molding of the sense of Arab identity. It will give all students of world affairs an indispensable insight into the problems of Arab existence, and the elusive factors that make up the self-awareness of Arabs in our day.~ By the author of "The Death of Jesus" (1962), "Karl Marx: The  Passionate Logician" (1967), "A Cultural History of Russia" (1968), "Trotsky: An Appreciation of His Life" (1975), "Arabs Today" (1977), "The Birth of Christianity: Reality and Myth" (1989), etc. References to T.E.

Why has the U.S.-brokered "peace process" repeatedly failed to deliver peace? What are the prospects for a just resolution? What interests underlie current U.S. strategic doctrines in the Middle East, especially in its redeclared "war on terrorism" after 9/11, and how do we look them to find more peaceful and viable alternatives. These are among the current and long-standing questions Noam Chomsky takes up in his newest book. "Middle East Illusions" presents recent chapters written by the author about the myths behind the peace process, the second Palestinian Intifada (which began in September 2000 and continues today in defiance of Israeli repression), and the Bush administration's response to the September 11 attacks on the United States, including its drive toward another war with Iraq. "Middle East Illusions" also includes the full text of Chomsky's earlier book "Peace in the Middle East? Reflections on Justice and Nationhood", written during the crucial period spanning the Six-Day and 1973 wars, events that continue to define and deeply influence the world today. "Middle East Illusions" therefore presents in-depth analysis covering several decades, making this book one of the richest of any analysis published about the region's geopolitics. Noam Chomsky is recognized internationally for his critical analysis of the Middle East.

The fabled Arab world -- whose vast deserts, overwhelming solitude, and stark, noble civilizations once beguiled explorers like T.E. Lawrence and Wilfred Thesiger -- is nowhere to be found today. The deserts remain, of course, but souks give way to shopping malls, fortresses crumble in the shadows of glittering hotels, and oases are replaced by ice-skating rinks. In Dubai an earthly paradise has been wrested from the sands: the Emirates Golf Club. Foreigners have moved in on Arabia's oil wealth like pilgrims to a shrine, bringing their own hopes and dreams, mingling them with those of the Arabs. The stories of these expatriate's lives, of the peculiar niches they inhabit, and of the meteoric ascendancy of a hybrid society are the stuff of "Expats" -- a book that penetrates what Lawrence called "the glamour of strangeness", and that updates all our notions of the Middle East. The new Arabia bears only a passing similarity to its desert ancestry. As Thesiger says, "It's the curse of this bloody oil, you see." But in this land awash with Madonna videos and air-conditioned BMW's, the Arabs have started searching again for their past. Camel races followed from four-wheeled-drive cars, and impromptu falcon hunts arranged by cellular phone keep them in touch with their traditions. Theirs is a world where the wildest dreams -- of Arab and expat -- have come together and come true.~ By the author of "With the Contras: A Reporter in the Wilds of Nicaragua" (1985), "Innocent Blood: A Novel" (1997), "Summer of Deliverance : A Memoir of Father And Son" (1998), etc. [O'Brien F0265h] ISBN: 0871133377 ** Dobbing, Herbert #15983 CAUSE FOR CONCERN.

Here he heard tales of other rock-monuments unseen by western eyes, at Medina Salith on the pilgrim road to Medina, and he determined to explore them, and proposed a survey of the Wadi Arabah region as a second object of his expedition. At Damascus, however, Doughty found the Turkish Authorities unwilling to let him join the Meccan pilgrim caravan; and the British Association and the Royal Geographical Society declined to aid him. So rebuffed he decided to enter Arabia at his own risk and charges. His original plan, however, was modified: instead of returning northwards from Medain Salih, he would join the Bedouin and live with them as a wandering physician. Adopting the name Khalil and the dress of an Arab Christian, he settled down at Damascus for a year to learn Arabic. In November 1876 he slipped out and quietly joined the pilgrim caravan. The journey led Doughty from Medain Salih to Hail, Kheybar, and the Kasim in central Arabia: it ended twenty one months later, on 2 August 1878, at Jiddah on the Red Sea. The unique value of his journey began with its second stage, when, alone with small funds, and stubbornly proclaiming himself an Englishman and a Christian, Doughty had to endure not only the fatigue and privation of desert life, also, in a measure spared to those travellers who have enjoyed powerful support or gone in disguise as Moslems, the suspicion and occasionally the violence of the Arab society to which he had entrusted himself. In these circumstances of difficulty he gathered a vast amount of new information about the geography and geology of north western Arabia, being the first to record accurately the true direction of the great watercourses of Wadi Hamd and Wadier Rumma. Of still greater value was the understanding that he gained of Arab Character and the conditions of nomad life. In these respects his contribution to western knowledge of Arabia was the greatest that had yet been made; and the acuteness and the wisdom his observation made him the acknowledged master of all later travellers. Doughty reached England at the end of 1878, broken in health by his ordeal. Continued weakness delayed publication of his results, his paper being printed in the Proceedings for July 1884. Doughty went to work on a fuller narrative, designed not only to be a faithful record of all that he had learned or suffered in Arabia, but the vehicle of his first experiment, During the First World War Lawrence a passionate devotee of the great Arabist C.M. Doughty, had tried to persuade the government to issue parts of "Travels in Arabia Deserta" as a handbook for officers serving in the Near East. He was instrumental in getting the Second English Edition published by the fledgling firm of Jonathan Cape in conjunction with the Medici Society. Lawrence's notoriety was desired for the expensive two volume set and he was persuaded to write his first introduction. This introduction was withdrawn in the Third Edition of 1923 and restored in the 1926 Thin Paper Edition and thereafter. This is the Sixth English Edition and is unique in that it was published in a format matching that of 1935 "Seven Pillars of Wisdom", whereas the 1943, 1944 and January, March 1949 reprints are of poorer quality paper.

No so long gone is that era of "empire by treaty", wherein a Great Britain declining in military, economic, and diplomatic power sought to protect is interests and maintain order in its extensive Middle Eastern holdings. The Middle Eastern empire of which Professor Fitzsimons treats is mainly a product of the years between two world wars. After the Second World War's conclusion, the Treaty Empire slowly retreated in the face of burgeoning Arab nationalism. As the retreat threatened to become a rout because of decreasing British willingness to bear the imperial burden, the Treaty Empire succumbed at last in the Iraqi Revolution of 1958. Unfortunately, while British power and British prestige in the Middle East deteriorated in the 1920s and 1930s, Britain's need of the region's oil production grew apace. The value of the Suez Canal as a communications link in Great Britain's empire-system likewise rose as the power to defend it declined. Thus, the British dilemma, so aptly and graphically sketched in all its detail: imperial power was declining at the very moment Middle Eastern bases and resources were attaining their highest value. Great Britain's solution, construction of a makeshift but relatively durable "empire by treaty", was typically "John Bull" in its grasp of basic realities. The diplomatic skill that was evidenced, the economic buildup achieved in the face of adverse circumstances, the realistic adjustment of ambition to capability -- all those are vividly portrayed by the author of this study. Yet "Empire by Treaty" is much more than a eulogy of British skill in protecting British interests. Changes in the world's power structure have demanded an examination of United States foreign policy as that policy has affected Britain and the Middle East. This examination is provided -- in the form of an assessment that is both frank and understanding. Equally sympathetic and fair is Professor Fitzsimon's treatment of the human motivations that made "empire by treaty" necessary: Arab nationalistic ambitions and British disenchantment with imperial duties. The tide of history could not be -- and was not -- reversed by the British improvisation of an "empire by treaty". This tide was, however, slowed notably. Time alone will determine whether or not this delaying action was ultimately helpful or detrimental. Present indications are that "empire by treaty" benefited both Great Britain and the Middle East, and more importantly, the peoples of the world as well.~ By the author of "The Foreign Policy of the British Labour Government, 1945-1951" (1953), "Diplomacy in a Changing World" (1959), "The Past Recaptured: Great Historians and the History of History" (1983), etc. References to T.E.

It follows the tale he told of their journey "In the Steps of Moses the Lawgiver". But it was not the second part of a journey they made, so much as a new journey, different in mood, with different fellow-travellers. The earlier book told of the Exodus of a rabble. But the Covenant of Mount Sinai bound them together, and the Advance of a People towards its promised heritage began. Moses the Leader was no longer the same leader. He had been chiefly a Lawgiver, codifying and teaching the Law he had during long years meditated in the wilderness. From now on his role was to be changed. If the promise was to be fulfilled and the heritage won, he must become Moses the Conqueror. From Mount Sinai the tale moves north, traversing the plateau of Et Tih, the Wilderness of Wandering. It seeks and finds the mysterious encampment of Kadesh in the lonely sprint of Ain Kadeis. There for the first time the travellers came upon traces of Colonel T.E.

It follows the tale he told of their journey "In the Steps of Moses the Lawgiver". But it was not the second part of a journey they made, so much as a new journey, different in mood, with different fellow-travellers. The earlier book told of the Exodus of a rabble. But the Covenant of Mount Sinai bound them together, and the Advance of a People towards its promised heritage began. Moses the Leader was no longer the same leader. He had been chiefly a Lawgiver, codifying and teaching the Law he had during long years meditated in the wilderness. From now on his role was to be changed. If the promise was to be fulfilled and the heritage won, he must become Moses the Conqueror. From Mount Sinai the tale moves north, traversing the plateau of Et Tih, the Wilderness of Wandering. It seeks and finds the mysterious encampment of Kadesh in the lonely sprint of Ain Kadeis. There for the first time the travellers came upon traces of Colonel T.E. Lawrence, which they meet so frequently from now on, that they ask themselves: is not this a journey in the steps of Lawrence the Conqueror?~ Numerous references to T.E. Lawrence.

This is the first of Golding's two Moses titles; "In the Steps of Moses the Conqueror" being second. ~The author of "Magnolia Street" has found a theme in which his gifts as traveller and scholar, poet and novelist, have full play. His whole life and work have, in a sense, been a preparation for the finest journey he has made and the best book he has written. "In the Steps of Moses the Lawgiver" makes the sublimest of the Old Testament stories live again, as if it were all happening before out eyes. It is a book which for many reasons will appeal to many types of reader. It is a vivid tale of travel through superb country. It traces the track of the Exodus with something of the excitement of a detective story. More than that: it is a study of profound religious problems out of which the Prophet himself emerges more and more clearly as a supremely loveable personality. Mr. Golding finds the spot where according to local tradition, the infant Moses was placed by his sister in the bulrushes. In the light of ancient legend and fleeting hints in old books, he builds up the "veiled" life of Moses as a prince in Pharaoh's Court, up to the time of his emergence as the saviour of Israel. He then sets out in the wake of Moses and the Host through the rich delta country, and tracks down the spot where the Red Sea crossing was accomplished. He wanders through valleys of the Sinai Peninsula, recalling at each twist of the mountains, not only the original Bible narrative, but strange legends, Hebrew, Christian and Muslim, some of which have not been written down before. At last he reaches the Greek Monastery under the Holy Mountain, and gives an intimate account of the monks and the building itself, the oldest continuously inhabited building in the world, and one of the most beautiful. The book concludes with the ascent of Mount Sinai, and attempts to recreate imaginatively the scene of the Lawgiving, the Prophet on the Mountain, the people gathered in the plain below. One thing should be added: the book has a striking and unintended topicality, as this time when once more the Children of Israel are attempting to find a home in the Promised Land, in the teeth of obstacles not less formidable than those they met 3,000 years ago.~ Louis Golding (1895-1958), the author of "Forward from Babylon" (1920), "James Joyce" (1933), "In the Steps of Moses the Conqueror " (1938), "Hitler Through the Ages" (1939), "Good-Bye to Ithaca" (1958), etc. ** Goodman, Susan #28983 GERTRUDE BELL; Leamington Spa (England) / Dover (NH) / Heidelberg (Germany), Berg $45.00 Publishers 1985: FIRST EDITION IN DUSTJACKET, 12mo, blue boards, 122pp, introduction, map, 8 b&w photos, chronology, glossary, bibliography, index, VERY GOOD+/VERY GOOD. ** Part of the "Berg Women's Series". ~During her lifetime the name of Gertrude Bell evoked rich images of the exotic and mysterious Arab world.  But her fame faded and now she is remembered only as a friend and colleague of T.E. Lawrence. She was an intrepid traveller, journeying alone through the sunbaked deserts of the Middle East or scaling testing peaks in the Swiss Alps. Her life brought emotional as well as physical tests as she twice suffered the tragedy of love quenched by death. Later, as a British political officer in Baghdad she was able to play a considerable role in determining the future of Mesopotamia, later to be called Iraq.~ ~ From the INTRODUCTION: ~On the evening of 12 July 1926 there was a great public funeral in Baghdad. Thousands of Arabs followed the coffin of Gertrude Bell to the British cemetery on the outskirts of the city. She had died that morning from an overdose of a sleeping potion, just two days before her 58th birthday. She was deeply mourned by the princes and people of Iraq and eulogized by her own king and country. ... The Iraqis called her "al-Khatun", which the English translated as "The Lady". The name meant much more in Arabic: she was "The Lady of the court", a recognition of her social and political status, and her commitment to the Arabs.~ References to T.E. Lawrence.

Born in Suffolk in 1843, the son of a clergyman, in the 1870s Doughty spent two years wandering through Arabia, first with the "Hadj" pilgrimage, then joining nomadic bands of Arabs, sometimes being kept as a virtual prisoner in far-flung desert towns. Unyielding in his independence of mind, the tall, red-bearded Doughty consistently refused to conceal his Christianity, making his perilous travels even more dangerous: he was threatened with death several times, spurned, insulted and often beaten by angry mobs. He risked all many times over, sometimes seemingly possessed by an almost messianic vision of himself; yet he was ultimately to find among the Bedouin a chivalry and honour that suited his own unbending temperament. The story of Doughty's obsessive archaeological investigations and wide-ranging observations of Arabia and desert life were published in 1888 as the vast and celebrated "Travels in Arabia Deserta". Although the book brought him little in the way of financial reward, he was now feted by the literary establishment; but his abrasiveness and refusal to compromise meant he frequently found himself at odds with the learned societies of England and Europe, his work rejected and his genius (as he saw it) neglected. Doughty was far more than an eccentric traveller and adventurer. He was dedicated to his great mission of rescuing the English language from the decadence into which he believed it had fallen since the eras of Chaucer and Spencer, and spent ten years devising, researching and writing a four-volume blank-verse epic about the origins of Britain. He died in 1926, his literary reputation largely restored thanks to the efforts of T.E. Lawrence. His monumental work "Travels in Arabia Deserta" was first published in 1888. In 1921, T.E. Lawrence convinced Jonathan Cape to reprint the book and contributed a Foreword to it. Both Hogarth and Doughty were major influences on T.E. Lawrence.

The author was an Arab administrator in the three deserts of Egypt for 18 years, and this is an account of his wanderings and daily experiences in the wilderness, and his dealings with the Bedouins who roam with their flocks in the wastes. Governor of Sinai for 13 years, Major Jarvis is an authority on all matters concerning the Arab; but his book is not a dry-as-dust treatise on biology and geology, but rather a saga of the everyday life of an official who has taken up the "white man's burden" in one of the harshest areas in the Eastern world. This book should appeal to everyone, as it is full of information cheerfully set forth with flashes of humour and accounts of those delightfully sunny situations that can occur only in Oriental countries. Not the least intriguing of the chapters are those devoted to the dogs who shared his lonely life and made the desert possible, and the gardens that he caused to flourish, after many vicissitudes, in the sandy and sterile wastes.~ Contains a number of references to T.E. Lawrence and a chapter titled "Lawrence and the Arab Revolt".
