Summary: Another work by "Lawrence of Arabia"
Review: This autobiographical book is written by T. E. Lawrence of "Lawrence of Arabia" fame. Dissapointed with the results of the World War One, he returned to England and enrolled annonymously in the RAF(Royal Air Force). He recounts the harrassing experience of boot camp and military life, with a few gems of human insight and reflection. As a cohesive narrative it fails, as literature to compare to his "Seven Pillars" if fails, but as an accurate and honest record of his life as lived in the pre-World War Two RAF it is highly illuminating. Miltary history and Lawrence fans will give this book an extra star, an important supplement of material on one the century's most fascinating people.
