Lawrence of Arabia by Ranulph Fiennes: explorer pays tribute to his hero
While there have been many biographies of TE Lawrence, Ranulph Fiennes is perhaps better qualified than most to add to the pile. There’s his remarkable adventures as an explorer who crossed both polar ice caps and climbed Everest at the age of 65, and his parallel career as a writer of both fiction and biography, including the controversial Captain Scott in 2003 and 2021’s gripping Shackleton. But what really marks Fiennes out is shared experience.
