It resulted in the birth of the modern Middle East and also created one of the most enduring myths of the war, the story of ‘Lawrence of Arabia’. This book describes how a rebellion of local proportions and aspirations in the Hejaz region of Arabia grew to such an extent that by 1918 it formed a major part of the Allied effort in Palestine and Syria. Supported by British and French advisers, including the influential T. E. Lawrence, the Arab armies developed into a coherent fighting force capable of taking on the regulars of the Ottoman Army.
