Description
This is the teeniest book I've read in a long time....but it isn't the kind one can rush....in fact, quite the opposite as one takes into account the variances in cultural perspectives of the times, the Arabic cultures back then, and the western military mindset versus middle eastern mindset......fascinating once one tosses out any preconceived notions and makes room for first hand insights....

"What do we really know 'of fighting' or anything else? Nothing can be accomplished without an understanding of the people who are setting out to accomplish it. Whether they are people like us or unlike us."
~ David Rhodes

(in the Afterword written for the 100th anniversary edition of T.E.Lawrence's "27 Articles")
