Author Description

"The Waters of Babylon focuses on the story of Lawrence's life after Arabia - although in fully creating its character, the narrative ranges from his childhood as a troubled boy and youth, to his first adventures in the Middle East, through his years in India and his final days at Clouds Hill. Peopling his story with some of the great figures of the twentieth century, author David Stevens has created a portrait of a man who gave up fame to pursue his ideals."--BOOK JACKET.
