A book with a complex publication history, Lawrence began making notes for it when he joined the RAF in 1922 and he was still making revisions in the last moths of his life. In 1936 the manuscript found its way to America and, in order to control publication a limited issue of 50 copies was produced - 10 of which were for sale priced at $500,000 each in order to prevent purchases. Following the death of an officer Lawrence describes unfavourably, a revised edition was published in 1955 in both a limited edition (2,000 copies in the UK and 1,000 in the US) and a trade issue - all of these states having the objectionable words lifted from the text. A definitive unexpurgated edition did not appear until 1973.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
