In the years following the end of the World War I, there was no stronger legend about any of its participants than that surrounding Colonel T.E. Lawrence, known as Lawrence of Arabia. On a special mission for the British, to help the Arab revolt against the Turks, Germany's allies, who then ruled the Middle East, he succeeded in establishing an extraordinary rapport with his Arab hosts and helped lead the disparate, warring tribes to amazing victories. His exploits - unifying the discordant desert tribes, leading them in guerilla attackes on Turkish forces and communications - greatly assisted General Allenby's main drive against the Turks and Lawrence entered a liberated Damascus ahead of Allenby in 1918. 012674
