Where is the second installment of the 7 part BBC Documentary you've listed?

Yes okay but don,t forget but for the first world war he would have been unknown outside of academic circles,he would have pursued his career in psychology and probably been a professor eventually.

His behavior post this suggests strongly it’s true

That is very interesting comment by eagle eye,British intelligence so involved in his mission and his death,the truth will never be known but is intrigueingnevertheless.Thank you.

British intelligence used Lawrence of Arabia on their missions in the Middle East, and he was their most important man. When they learned he was writing his memoirs, they killed him in their favorite way: a road accident.

British intelligence used Lawrence of Arabia on their missions in the Middle East, and he was their most important man. When they learned he was writing his memoirs, they killed him in their favorite way: a road accident.

Lawrence was a racist, and classist, and he adopted an arrogant position of condescension towards the Arabs when it came to who was going to rule the middle east and who would profit from the oil fields. He may have lived among them, and been raped by them but that's hardly more than an Oxbridge ''education'' and he suffered no more nor less for it.

Of course Lawrence was a racist. He went there with an invading army to effect politics and trade in the region. He went there to bend things towards and English sphere of influence. And for the most part he got off easy. If as he said, he was raped by Arabs then he felt a mere touch of the aggression they felt for his kind. He wasn't flayed over a fire pit, he wasn't shot or tortured, he experienced an Oxbridge ''education'' in buggery that many Englishmen find erotic.

Of course the rape and the beating happened. He says in his letter to E M Forster in commenting on Forster's curious homosexual ghost story that he was taken by force sexually at Deraa. Why are all these scholars questioning it? He worried over these passages in Seven Pillars and rewrote them but could not bring himself to fully tell the story. It would have been difficult to tell such a story in the early 1900s. He tells Mrs Bernard Shaw, Charlotte Shaw, that it happened that he had given away his irrecoverable integrity to escape from the pain of the whipping. Why don't these scholars do what they are supposed to do and do their research?

Note. They paid the Arabs many thousands in gold.

@OP - Do you have part 2 of this documentary? That, or the complete, uncut version?

Why is part 2 blocked and is there no way of seeing it apart from youtube?

Please can anyone tell me where I can find Part 2? It just isn't complete without part 2.

Tim was betrayed wasn't he - we can listen to all these elevating and hyperbolic glam stories but at the end of the day he promised King Feizel a sovereign state and a free Palestine but Lawrence was being used. All part of the centuries old divide and rule. Dividing the Arab Nations by lying to them to they break away from the Ottoman Empire and then once weekened attack each individual Nation and then rule over them. Once Lawrence realized he was being used he dropped out of the limelite, disillusioned and then lost his life in a bike accident. Many say that he was murdered by either the British sercret Service or Mossad. The accident was suspect enough but the lack of after care he received was doubly so. Recent research thrown light on this subject and has increased curiosity and speculation that he was murdrered. th-cam.com/video/ZlvbqNWvqzc/w-d-xo.html

Brilliant . I want to do a trip like that in my mini

Gorgeous then, gorgeous now. Helen Shapiro. Morphed into a superb jazz singer...

so fun!

OSHA would have a field day with this.

Lawrence rode his motorbike so fast, so long he wanted to die. His luck finally ran out and he found the peace that had always eluded him. Sad

The old b.b.c. like the old "times" used to be (an almost true?) journal of records by well qualified commentators.(How far they've fallen is so sad).

When he's caught, he's sexualy assaulted in an extremely specific Sado-Masochistic way. A way he felt profoundly stimulated by. Like everything about Lawrence much of it is probably flamboyantly fictional. Captors tend to have their own agendas

How dare this amwrican guy talk such rubbish..ignorance and probably envy what a shame

odd that they removed episode 2 of this series

I tottaly agree with the coment of "molarmana 22" Why did he had to lie ??? It DID happened !!! In a comentary of John Mack book (A Prince of our Disorder) the author says from the comentas of another persons who "worked " with him who said "Se saw him VERY changed" More comments ????

If you talk ti American soldiers operating in Afghanistan they will tell you that rape of young boys in the army and in the taliban was a regular occurrence. So it was commonplace in that part of the world. These “opinions” on whether or not it actually happened are based on nothing really. None of these people were there. What is the point of presenting them if there is no substance behind them?

Its a glorious book. Really. The adventure. Through the years if one who was present , his perspective, through his eyes .Wonderfully descriptive. He puts you there.

amazing!!!

Thank you for posting this superb documentary. When I was very young I went to see 'Lawrence of Arabia' at my local movie theatre in Ottawa, Canada. I bought the soundtrack album and have remained a huge history buff ever since. Lawrence was a decent, complex man, and this documentary provides an excellent view of his life. Again, thanks.

In January 1929, as Thomas Edward Lawrence returned from a tour in British India, Bernard & Charlotte Shaw gifted him his third Brough Superior SS100 motor cycle, delivered February 1929, nicknamed "George VI". TE Lawrence kept UL656 until March 1932.

The Beatles tour ended in Sept. 66, That's just my opinion. I can't live in the past? The future will soon be the past.

All this unseen footage. Thanks.

Where is Part 2? You left out a crucial part of it, man. Lawrence didn't get into the Intelligence Service by accident.

We need part 2

where is the part 2? Which contains the interview of Sheikh Muhammad auda Abu Tayi, who is a witness to the revolution

7:27 Siegfried Sassoon! Didn't expect to see him here. The first footage I've ever seen of him, and it may be the only.

Thomas Lawrence's Oxford thesis titled "The Influence of the Crusades on European Military Architecture-to the End of the 12th Century" was based upon his own field research as he rode a bicycle in France to visit castles and walked the Middle East to study Crusader castles ! An interesting subject, available as a book titled "Crusader Castles" edited by Denys Pringle - Oxford University Press

They were all jealous of him

Can anyone imagine the BBC commissioning a documentary like this now! A documentary talking about the exploits of white British people. A documentary that doesn't obsess about racism, imperialism, sexuality or transgenderism. The modern BBC is a joke and a disgrace

René Arnoux, great man, great excellent driver, great idol. Golden age of F1.

Very interesting and very sad

Where is part 2. This is amazing stuff

I once met a man who had served in the Tank Regiment when Lawrence was there. They spoke but by that time everyone knew who he was. I was very young when I met the old soldier and he was very. That was in Wales in 1978, so even before this film was was made. I miss those characters; they're gone now and I miss the BBC as was.

Calling Lawrence a racist like Said does means transporting moral judgements of our own day onto the past, which is a sign of bad scholarship. Said is a fraud.

Throughout this series of videos, the English captions are deplorable. What a pity that, having taken such trouble to explore the historical truth, the BBC failed to see it accurately translated.

I worked at Bovington Camp for over a year. I knew about TE because the Film was and is a favourite of mine.I rode to work from twenty miles away on my motorbike and was very careful on the last leg to Bovington lest the same fate happened to me. He was cruelly manipulated by a Colonial Elite and the trouble was,he knew it. I think his death was a relief for him,brought on partly by the UK Press. His position was made impossible,as more recent personality's have found release.

Lawrence had a goal and a plan, independence for the Arabs. All of his inconsistencies can be explained by saying that he shaped his arguments to his audience to achieve the ends he hoped for. If he was talking to the Arabs, he highlighted the things that would appeal to them. If to the British, he did the same.. This is written all over his actions. His fame was first a tool and then, after the old men outplayed him together, a punishment.

Do you have Part 2?

A good documentary. Also shows some false interpretation mangled by religious beliefs, which is eye opening.
