1. Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia, by Michael Korda
Michael Korda's Hero: The Life and Legend of Lawrence of Arabia, an in-depth biography of the man whom Winston Churchill described as "one of nature's greatest princes," makes a fascinating read, and a particularly relevant one today when there is again a wave of revolt among Arab nations. Monitor reviewer Erik Spanberg calls T.E. Lawrence "a brilliant, idiosyncratic man," whose ideas about and understanding of the Middle East "remain prescient today."
