Quite a number of significant players are to be found between chapters 41 and 58 of the book since the Arab revolt involved many people. The book therefore comprises of the feelings, experiences and reflections of Lawrence and all the other personalities around him who found themselves caught up in these historical moments. Lawrence wrote that this story ought not to be read as the history of the Arab movement but as the history of him in it (Lawrence). Chapters 41 through 58 detail Lawrence’s expedition’s imminent arrival at Akaba. Lawrence was part of this revolt, fighting alongside Arabs even though he was aware that his government was being dishonest with the Arabs. The plan was for British to win the war from two fronts, though the idea was sold to the Arabs as a freedom campaign which Britain was apparently ready to support. During the First World War, British instigated the revolt of Arabs against Turkey while she herself engaged Germany.
