Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the autobiographical work by of British Army Colonel T. E. Lawrence ("Lawrence of Arabia"). In the book he describes his adventures of serving as a military advisor to Bedouin forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Turks of 1916 to 1918. Lawrence kept extensive notes throughout the course of his involvement in the Revolt and cleared them up during his stay in Paris. During the revolt, Lawrence helped organize and carry out attacks on the Ottoman forces from Aqaba in the south to Damascus in the north. He got popular among the locals, yet most of his popularity came after the publication of this account. It includes the descriptions of battles and geographic sights, incredible landscapes and customs.
