WITH LAWRENCE IN ARABIA. By Lowell Thomas. (Hutchinson and Co. 21s.)
THE record of a great and perilous feat successfully accom-
plished is always inspiring, and Colonel Lawrence's work in Arabia during the War is a theme which any chronicler might envy. Though some may perhaps cavil at a slightly over-dramatic quality in Mr. Lowell Thomas's style, he has, nevertheless, given us in this book a most engrossing history of the events in Arabia which culminated in Lord Allenby's
victory in Palestine. He brings before us in a peculiarly vivid way the Arabs themselves, their politics, the •desert, armoured cars and camels and aeroplanes, the blowing up of bridges, and " the uncrowned 'King of Arabia " himself, of whom no words, for he neither desires nor needs them.
